I think the general public has a huge misconception on how a Pawn Shop is and or should be run. Very few people have ever been into a Pawn Show, and just have a skewed perception which is more than likley picked up from movies and tv shows showing them as a place to sell stolen items.
Pawn Shops are plenty legit and send full info on all items brought into their stores to police, and then said item is held for a set number of days so the police can run the numbers and clear the item. (serial numbers, model numbers, etc.). Pawnshops are State mandated and I know that is the procedure here in Ca.

Some of the nicer pawn shops in San Francisco are in much better condition that retail jewelry stores here in Sac, and have a better inventory!
