Or, the other scenario is that they pay $100 for the kayak and sell it for $200 to someone. It's reported stolen, somehow traced to the pawn shop, which has records of who they sold it to (maybe?), and it gets repossessed from that person. The pawn shop would have made $100 (not $200) on the sale, perhaps the law should require them to refund their profit. But to who?
What happens if the original owner ultimately gets his kayak back? Is he then liable to refund the pawnshop back their money?
