And yet just ANOTHER NEGATIVE COMMENT BY MR. JOHNSON. Dude, you are awesome. You say what everyone else is thinking. Wow, way to put these jc folks in their place. Keep them coming. You must be highly educated.

Hi,

You may want to try the local pawn shops in Jersey City and Bayonne. Also, check Craigslist.org. There are a lot of stolen items sold through that website.

-Lock your car and home doors.
-Keep all valuables out of sight or not in the car.
-Do not bother investing in a car alarm bc all that does is wake me up. If you are like me you do NOT run outside and investigate the matter NOR do you bother calling police (they won't come anyway for about 2 days).

Good luck!!!

Lmfao @ "some guy", yea that guy and about a 1000 other drug dealers in this city. You thought you had inside knowledge lol

On a serious note this city does have fences for stolen items that are like a black market pawn shop. Chances are if it was a drunk/fiend he sold it to some one on the street for a few bucks and wouldn't waste the time with a pawn shop. If they were a teen or young guy they probably just kept it. So I would report the theft because you might get lucky and someone gets caught breaking into cars with your knife in their pocket.


Quoting what I was told... there is apparently one guy who has a reputation beyond others... which doesnt surprise me.

Thank you for adding quality insight with generic statements and stereotypes.

Probably not the same guy, but anyone hard up for a little cash who happens to see a car that's not locked. Serve on a grand jury and you'll see a whole bunch of cases of robbery and theft of items from a vehicle. And those are only the ones who get arrested.

If I could find this gentleman perhaps he'd be interested in trading my knife back for some Tylenol PMs...

I'll check in at the pawn shop at Newark and Jersey see if they have it or any ideas. Low odds, but worth a quick look.

Bottom line, anything in your car has high odds of being swiped if it's valuable...

My guess would be that he sold it to some random on the street or in one of the local bars for $20.

Made the mistake of not properly locking my car and within 16 hours one of the local thieves had rummaged through the car and snagged a few items. It was parked by Mercer and Jersey.

One item was a utility knife that is worth 175 or so. My question is do these thieves sell them to pawn shops in JC or any other place where I possibly could luck out and track it down? Obviously odds are low on this chase, but wondered if anyone knew of any popular places for quick cash on these type things...

Also, moral of story is always double check your car doors and don't leave valuable items in car
