    I'm sure that it is illegal for any entity, except for government
    agencies, to sell stolen goods. I'm sure a pawn shop has some
    liability here because "ignorance" is not really a viable defense. To
    provide evidence that they are not buying or selling stolen goods,
    they ought to have documented policies, procedures, and audit trails
    to show where the goods came from, etc.
