Not really, they dont want to have to deal with the victims or give up property they have paid for.

It can be drawn out, but pawn shops don't lose anything on stolen merchandise. They get paid either by the offender or the victim. They aren't just out their money/merchandise. Often times, the victim just pays to get it out, as many times it's a family member that's done the pawning and they don't want to press charges.
