3. Additionally, any person that the pawn shop sells the cards to has acquired stolen property, so they are not good faith owners of the property and would likely have to return that property.
4. Pawn shops could be subject to civil litigation to the card owners for conversion of property.
Sometimes, threats and warnings can deter unlawful conduct.
