i think the police know who it is since pawn shops keep a record of who sold them stuff - so the police can file charges now that they have the evidence. legally the new victim, who is out the $200 has to collect from the thief, but good luck trying to collect a penny from him\her. maybe a small claims court claim against the pawn shop is a good idea. but that's a pain too. the pawn shop should just fork over the money if it has a conscience
