Here they don't ask either. Obviously they're supposed to ask and hold the copy of your ID and signature but they rarely do.
I know this because we covered a case where a lady had her jewelry box stolen in a robbery and several items where found by detectives at a pawn broker in an urban neighborhood. The pawn broker kept zero records, had no security cameras and had no real books to show. So it does happen.
Fwiw, it's not even really worth getting into though because it's going to be one of those things where we'll go on for nine pages of people giving examples of pawn brokers in their areas where half will ask for ID and the other half won't. It'll lead to nothing because we have no proof that Tad even visited a pawn broker at all. LMAO!
