There's a bunch of odd folks in your brain. Let 'em out or they'll start a riot.

lovin it .. ‘the pawn shop’ is well known to me.. as well as a ‘cultural reality’ .. Be glad to send you a pic - time stamped today of a current Pawn Ticket .. residing in my wallet - recently paid off the Interest & renewed ‘the loan’ - Have been a customer of McTamney’s in Toronto over 50 years .. At one point utilized them as ‘Secure Storage’ for my firearms - the Interest Rate was less than Secure Storage & the ‘Loan’ helped fund my evolution as freelance photographer.

Billy Ray thought stealing her guitar "was a good idea at the time." Really nice, Sharron! The picture is of the Pawn Stars store sign. : )

Good thing she didn’t get that tuning peg fixed. That helped ‘crack’ the case!

Stealing guitars should be a capital offense! 🤣 It’s like stealing a wizard’s magic wand. Indefensible.

What a great story. I was relieved when she found the guitar. Hopefully justice will be served…that neighbor of hers has it coming!

Whew! As I neared the end I worried you wouldn't reveal whether or not the narrator got back her guitar. I was completely engaged and invested in this terrific story! Though now I'm wondering how much haggling went on, what the narrator ended up paying, whether that rat Billy Ray got his ass thrown into jail, etc. Thank you, Sharron!
