twice ripped off/question

someone b&e'd my house, took about 1200.00 worth of stuff, mostly video systems, games, and cash - quick money. they got the quick money from a pawn shop. The detective who found the stuff says the pawn shop will now sell my stuff back to me - good price the cop says...Is this legal? What happened to the 'receiving stolen goods' crime? and what does this say about the likelihood of prosecuting the b & e artist? If this is the way the system works, it sucks.

I am a law school graduate. What I offer is mere information, not to be construed as forming an attorney client relationship.

Well....there is something called the good faith purchaser -- someone who did not know the goods were stolen.

But.....check your state by using the link below to see what these crimes say in your state: receiving stolen goods and selling stolen goods

If a pawn shop takes in stolen merchandise..then you would have a right to get all the information they got a DL # adress, and other leagl forms of ID...now if thereisnt any then the Pawn show KNEW IT WAS STOLEN and you can sue them too..and prosecute the criminal..but a lawyer will have to do that.

Also it sounds like the Poice officer might be on the TAKE...splitting the proceeds with the pawn shop....

NOW FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION;

Why dont you have renters insurance on your stuff..???
