If you ever get robbed visit your local pawn shops soon thereafter.

Even the honest people are ripped off trying to obtain a quick source of cash when they'd get a far better price selling it through Gumtree or the like

Do you think he could get them back, No! other than buying them at a price higher than he normally sold them.

Pawn brokers have a way of protecting themselves against their rightful owners getting their property back.

PS I think the loss was covered by his insurer who was advised of the location of the goods but I don't know the final outcome.

It is mandatory that if you offload goods at any Cash Converters you need to produce a valid drivers licence for the trade. Personally, I hate them and see them as nothing more than glorified op shops except they're not for a good cause.

Years ago when my astro club was trying to raise money we did the trash and treasure market scene. Another member, who knew how to extract money from hapless fools (his day job was real estate agent), deliberately overpriced our best items. He didn't want to sell them, he wanted people to come to our stall, look at the good items, then buy some of our other carp. They were worth more to us sitting in the table than if they had been sold. So do Crime Converters just want you to see the scope, walk in and end up buying some of their trash binos?? [Of course if you want to pay 5x a fair price they won't argue.]
