| Pawn and theft in Atlanta
An old friend of mine recently had all of his fencing gear stolen from his storage unit in Atlanta. So, you Atlanteans, here is your chance to A: Get a bunch of good fencing stuff cheap in a pawn shop.
Or
B: Let me know if yuo happen to see a bunch of good fencing stuff in a Pawn shop so I can tell my friend where to look for his stuff.
(Do you think thieves get confused when they try to fence fencing gear?)

| Only if the fence is located on a fenced property. 
Best of luck finding the gear.

Serves him right for not sleeping with it like any self respecting fencer would.

It keeps trying to crawl to the washing machine. Say, maybe the gear wasn't stolen. It just made its merry way to the local laundry facility.

| I don't live in Georgia, but you never know. I've caught burglars that told me they tried to use ebay and fence for themselves (... and I had my gear, epees and all in my car and was sooooooooooooooooooooo tempted to see if they really could fence for themselves).
To the point, though, any chance we can get descriptions and details to look out for. (You know, certain brand/size mask with maybe armorers' marks from some past tournament other locals might recognize?) | |

| Noodle is correct. Pawn shops get what is called a "hot list" of goods that have been stolen recently and they are obliged by law in most cases to detail that list against any incoming collateral and notify police if they get it. Even cooler is the fact that most pawn owners actually comply with it so do urge your friend to file a report and keep an eye on ebay.
