I have a vehicle burglary case assigned to me where a lap top was stolen. A few days later it turned up in a pawn shop. I believe the person that pawned it knew that it was stolen. I cannot find him to interview him. Short of him admitting that he knew it was stolen, how else can I show that he had knowledge that it was stolen?
