Legal Question in Consumer Law in Florida

stolen property at pawn shop

I pawned my diamond earrings and the pawn shop was robbed, and my earrings were part of the stolen merchandise. Does the pawnshop owner have to abide by the written contract I have regarding lost property while in his possession?

I would say the pawn shop has to honor a contract with you, but was it on consignment or did you get paid for it? If you wish to discuss further, feel free to call or e-mail me. Appears that you are in Weston like me.

Yes, he owes you for the value of the ring (but you need to comply with the pawn contract as well).
