I have a question concerning pawn regulations.
My boyfriend let a supposed friend borrow his $3000 camera and its equipment. He assisted him in taking pictures of the CW33 newsteam a few months ago. The guy, David Fowler, never gave him his camera back. He kept trying to call him and always got excuses. One day, he called him again and this time David Fowler's roommate answered his cell phone. The roommate told my boyfriend that Fowler had pawned his camera. I'm not sure of the amount but I know it was for several hundred dollars. Well, Fowler was arrested for not returning a rental car. He was bailed out of jail sometime after. My boyfriend's camera has been sitting in the pawn shop...with interest. He must pay about $900 to get it out. He TRIED to file a police report but they turned him down since it technically was not stolen property. Are there any laws or regulations that protect the victim in this case? I think it's pretty ridiculous that my boyfriend has to pay that much.

Sounds like a really good butt-whuppin' is in order...about 3000 dollars worth. Then don't lend your stuff to other people, let 'em get their own.
