I think I stole an 044

I have a friend who is the manager at a pawn shop. I went in there the other day and spotted a sweet 044 that he just put out. The saw is in excellent condition the paint on the bar was just slightly wore. He told me that the person who had the saw got a loan and put that down as colladeral but never paid them back so he is selling the saw. I asked him how much he would sell it to me, he said "oh I guess I'll let you have it for $120. I fell on the floor. It's mine now and man that thing runs like new.... it practically is. I'll try and post pictures.

Oh, and before someone mentions it, I have been a cop for three years now and I ran the #'s. She's clean.

Just wondering. Where did you run the serial number ? Do you have access to a decent database ?

Now we know why the police go so easy on "pawnshops" that are fencing items.

Stihl has a database of stolen Stihl saws (only started a year or so ago) and tracks registrations. Getting the prior owners name and a quick call can go a long way to figuring out if a saw is stolen.
