The only "legit" people I've seen decked out in designer casual wear like that are multi-millionaire musicians or actors. Anyone else I assume is trying to project wealth and status they don't have.
@@tractorback76 Of course it is, but the owner seems pretty genuine in his reactions, I can’t definitively say both parties are acting as you’re implying…
@@terryoquinn8199 Personally, I can see why someone wouldn't let it be tested if it was real because they think it'll lower the value of it. Granted, the shop has the risk so they need to test it, it turns into a standoff. But's that's just me personally. When I buy my jewelry, I buy authentic, but at the same time, if I had to sell it and wasn't sure it's the best deal, I would be afraid to let it get damaged as well.
I was confused about that, you come to an agreement on the price, and once it is agreed (if the necklace is real), then you let him check it because you know it's real and you're getting what was agreed on. Clearly, it was a scam. lol
I have 20 brand new tools that have never been opened, 10 rolex watches purchased directly from Rolex kiosk on Fifth Avenue, & 10 real movado watches purchased from the trunk of a car in NJ.
As a guy who runs a pawnshop, either you are built for it or ya just aren’t. You just have to be of the mindset that you are in charge and nobody is gonna get you to do anything you don’t want to do. Being nice about the exchange just makes everything easier.
The first scammer is trying to find a pawn store who will give him the $1900 thinking he doesn't know what he has and how much it is worth. So it would take 2 shady people to make that transaction.
@@halosrustythat’s not true actually. It’s happened many times someone has sold something for a low price, like a work of art. If it can be proven that the buyer knew it was worth more than what was paid you can be sued. Happens with art a lot, example you pay $100 for a million dollar painting

Started following this channel a few weeks ago. I’ve been on TH-cam for over 15 years and watched thousands of videos. This is one of the most entertaining channels out there, thanks for the content
The reason the scammer videos are so popular is that we, as the general population, love to see the bad guys defeated. It seems like in todays world the bad guys are winning every battle. With the hoards ransacking department stores to just scammers who rip off a single innocent person. These videos make us feel like there is hope. Great to see the bad guys lose and the good guys win!!!
Id rather see politicians and bankers go down for the blatant scams they pull everyday on the Americans citizens this stuff is pocket change to what’s happening in the real world but it excites people like I guess
My plumber husband works in Chicago alot and has gotten his truck stolen from so many times that he hired an extra laborer just to sit in the truck while he's on a job... You have no idea how much I respect the fact that you turned them down cuz you suspected their tools were stolen,.. The world needs more business owners like you... We're definitely gonna stop in there to see what you got one day... Keep doing the good work sir!
As someone who has been in construction. My dad back in the late 90's ran alot of sub crews roofing. He had a guy who would sit in trucks and around the floor so bums didnt come tip there ladders over and steal everything while there stuck on a ladder.
Louis Vuitton was trying to look so cool he looked dumb. It was funny how the power tool guys were offended when Peter asked for a receipt. lol Great video Pete. Grandpa's watch, Grandpa's power tools. lol

Alot of grandpa's giving away fake crap to their fake grandkids 😂. Apparently the guitar thief needs more gas for his vehicle. Nice to see the 🐈 make a cameo
I hate to be that guy, but just want to throw out a tip for your guitar display; if you want to keep them laying flat in the case like that, try to find something to stick under the neck to give it support. With bolt-ons, the weight of the neck at the headstock pulling down, causes the side at the body to push up. Over time, you can develop cracks at the neck pocket of the body from that constant force. They make neck supports- usually used during repairs- but even a few rolled up tshirts or something under the end of the neck could work to reduce that pressure. Really anything just to keep that neck from floating in the air. I only know this from having it happen to myself! Unsolicited advice aside, I have been loving these videos! Keep them coming
He turns down this crap because he doesn’t want his business to be know as “that place” He runs an honest business and wants to only buy from and sell to honest people Bravo sir! I’d love to come by sometime and check out the place
Sorry to be one of 'those people' but really doesn't in reality. Hitler was a passionate animal lover, a vegetarian and had a dog he adored. There's videos of him petting and cuddling with his dog. A simple care for animals does not automatically mean a great person. In fact, studies show that an over the top sense of care for animals is a common sociopath trait. A large percentage of sociopaths were found to have an odd fixation on animal care.
on the guitar guy...when you say why would you do that...usually drugs man...but this pawn shop owners is one of the nicest most down to earth guys ever man...honestly he seems like a really cool guy man...great channel brother
Not sure if the police officer was just using the term as “he steals a lot” or not but kleptomania is a term for people with a mental illness. Having the urge to steal things they don’t even need/want.
The way you school people and insult them with logic and they’re not sure it’s freaking awesome. Keep making videos dude I love them. I just subscribed.
You are a much better person then I. You know they are BSing you, their story constantly changes and in some cases you call them out. I hate scammers and thief’s. TY for sharing this footage and for being so calm.
I’m a reseller now full time but still work as an optician for Walmart. The amount of theft in one year would blow your mind. When the consequence is next to nothing it will just continue to spiral out of control. I was mad for you when I saw that guy take off with the guitar. At least you having your own business can go after them. Even though it is dangerous these days to do that. At work we pretty much have to pay them on the back and say thanks come again. It makes me sick.
@@mikekoz6351 bruh. When the interest rate is north of 20% and they routinely low-ball people to turn around and double, triple, or quadruple their profit, I'd say that's dubious at best, a scam at worst. They never do 'favors' that aren't in their best interest. It's just a legal form of scamming, much like banking.
More than likely fake. I see them DAILY online. People post on the Fender forum asking about the guitar they bought, only to find out it was originally sold on Ali Express smh. And nothing on it is genuine Fender anything. No one sells a 1958 Stratocaster for $1300. More. Like $13000 thirteen THOUSAND.

The first guy with the goofy sunglasses...reminds me of the kinda guy that wishes he was wealthy but everything about him, from watch, to clothes, to the glasses, is a big fat lie!!
Super cool being able to finally step feet inside the store after watching the channel so long! Appreciate the help today, most definitely will be taking another trip soon! ( guy who brought the tabletop hockey and Subwoofer in today )
So much respect for the store for not buying stolen stuff. That is not a good way to make money and you know this and I appreciate that very very nice.!! 👍
no legitimate pawn shop would buy stolen goods. The police can take it away if a report is lodged and verified, and they're out of money. if it's also found that they did not do due diligence to identify the rightful owner of the item, whether deliberately or through negligence, they could be fined/lose their license
I agree on the two gentlemen selling “ Grandpa’s New Power-tools..”but no dust on them unused, one is sealed!..but since 2020 with all the videos I’ve seen (Not insinuating they are stolen)…people walking into Home Depot and grabbing up tools..I would be hesitant to
7:07 I would’ve said ‘Show me a photo of the shed and all the tools inside and I’ll buy.’ They were planning on unloading hot tools they didn’t have yet.
this is the first ever video I have seen on this channel and I think you have a timeless cool quality about these videos so keep it up.. I saw 95% of it so good going. the guitar thief was my favourite. Thanks and congrats on such a wonderful channel. You seem so self assured , its quite a lesson for us entrepreneurs.

Rolex manufactured the Oysterquartz collection from 1977 until the early 2000s. During that time, Rolex made an assortment of Oysterquartz references, divided into Oysterquartz Datejust and Oysterquartz Day-Date lines.
Instant giveaway. I bought a fake Rolex in New York. It was a decent watch, but it was gaudy as hell. I gave it to my grandfather as a gag. He was a former jeweler so he appreciated the con.

Whoever edits ur videos did an awesome job by adding that metal gear solid alert sound 😂 I also liked how u took some responsibility for the lock case. We dont see people doing that as much anymore
I think their grandfather owned a hardware store and closed it down before he died and left all those tools in his shed. The possibilities are endless 🤣😂
The individual scammer in the beginning most likely possessed a collection of counterfeit designer clothing. Knowing the watch wasn't authentic, he likely anticipated a buyer taking the risk, hoping for a jackpot.

I hate to be that guy, but just want to throw out a tip for your guitar display; if you want to keep them laying flat in the case like that, try to find something to stick under the neck to give it support. With bolt-ons, the weight of the neck at the headstock pulling down, causes the side at the body to push up. Over time, you can develop cracks at the neck pocket of the body from that constant force. They make neck supports- usually used during repairs- but even a few rolled up tshirts or something under the end of the neck could work to reduce that pressure. Really anything just to keep that neck from floating in the air. I only know this from having it happen to myself!
Unsolicited advice aside, I have been loving these videos! Keep them coming
He turns down this crap because he doesn’t want his business to be know as “that place”
He runs an honest business and wants to only buy from and sell to honest people
Bravo sir!
I’d love to come by sometime and check out the place
I would love to be a fly on the wall for some of his interactions
You are a dying breed my brotha! Honest trustworthy business owner. Thank you
Love that you have pets in the shop. Empathy for birds and animals tells a lot about a person🙂
Sorry to be one of 'those people' but really doesn't in reality. Hitler was a passionate animal lover, a vegetarian and had a dog he adored. There's videos of him petting and cuddling with his dog. A simple care for animals does not automatically mean a great person. In fact, studies show that an over the top sense of care for animals is a common sociopath trait. A large percentage of sociopaths were found to have an odd fixation on animal care.
Birds ARE animals...
I just hope nobody would ever hurt the animals....... Like some subhuman trying to rob the place or something
Mentiras, there are no studies. A few stori a written in the first person and opinion pieces but no studies.
@@Liverpool5095 Hitler was not a vegetarian. You've been fooled by his propaganda to make him look like a good person.
on the guitar guy...when you say why would you do that...usually drugs man...but this pawn shop owners is one of the nicest most down to earth guys ever man...honestly he seems like a really cool guy man...great channel brother
Not sure if the police officer was just using the term as “he steals a lot” or not but kleptomania is a term for people with a mental illness. Having the urge to steal things they don’t even need/want.
Damn, my grandpa just left us a bunch of Timex. Where are all his Rolex watches and brand new modern tools??
These people must have the same rich grandpa.
Yeah, but are you sure it's a real Timex?
New scammer vid from Pete? Stopped what I was doing and clicked immediately!
Same here
@@provisionalhypothesis yeah I quickly figured that out lol. It’s all good though
It's not new content, all have been posted and reposted before.
Yea I think Pete messed up and posted the wrong video
@@silverzales1980no it’s a compilation
What a great guy this dude is! Wish i had his level of patience and understanding
3rd guy has on the scammer dress up kit. Bubble jacket, sweat shorts and small snap back cap!😂
Then walks off with the "Dam, couldn't get him" face...
Song forget the douchey sunglasses
@@AquaticGems Oh yeah!😄
He was trying to get a loan on the item
I want this guy to teach me about watches.
You are so diplomatic with these jokers. You have a great voice.
The guy bringing in the AP for $1900 is hilarious 😂
And this was the first video of you guys that I’ve ever seen. Super interesting content!
The way you school people and insult them with logic and they’re not sure it’s freaking awesome. Keep making videos dude I love them. I just subscribed.
You are a much better person then I. You know they are BSing you, their story constantly changes and in some cases you call them out. I hate scammers and thief’s. TY for sharing this footage and for being so calm.
I’m a reseller now full time but still work as an optician for Walmart. The amount of theft in one year would blow your mind. When the consequence is next to nothing it will just continue to spiral out of control. I was mad for you when I saw that guy take off with the guitar. At least you having your own business can go after them. Even though it is dangerous these days to do that. At work we pretty much have to pay them on the back and say thanks come again. It makes me sick.
The first scam vid a few months ago is how I found this channel. Finally we can see another.
I was wondering, I coulda sworn I saw it a good bit ago. I was like no way I saw this within 9 days it was wayyyy longer 😂
When life hands you thieves, make great content. Sucks you got robbed but at least you made the best of it in the end. Much love dude❤
“ My Grandma is very well off”….yet here I stand in a pawn shop 🙄🤔
Yeah doesn't add up
I'd imagine there are a lot of family disgraces out there with substance abuse problems willing to pawn off family items for cash though.
Maybe because the kids a thief and got kicked out of the family for being a miscreant! 🤣
He could have sold it online for way more of it was real
Not a pawn shop but yea i get it
I love when scammers go into a pawn shop to try to scam someone who scams people for a living lol
🤣🤣🤣
Underrated comment
Not all pawn shop owners are "scammers" why would you think they are?
@@mikekoz6351 bruh. When the interest rate is north of 20% and they routinely low-ball people to turn around and double, triple, or quadruple their profit, I'd say that's dubious at best, a scam at worst. They never do 'favors' that aren't in their best interest. It's just a legal form of scamming, much like banking.
Spot on
Guitar guy had no problem taking your original offer on the fender. He’d obviously stole it from someone else. Guys a clepto.
Or fell into drugs and sold his only valuable item
More than likely fake. I see them DAILY online. People post on the Fender forum asking about the guitar they bought, only to find out it was originally sold on Ali Express smh. And nothing on it is genuine Fender anything.
No one sells a 1958 Stratocaster for $1300. More. Like $13000 thirteen THOUSAND.
He doesn't even play. I can tell by the way, he holds the guitar.
@@J.C... Exactly!
The guy doesn't even like guitars. But he just has to ... Heck, even his beard is fake.
camera guy had probably been waiting for a moment like that chase scene! 😂 awesome stuff brother. hate that you guys have to go through all the headaches of dealing with scammers, but i guess it comes with the territory.
Lucky for you, you and your staff are knowledgeable and you do your due diligence.
If it seems to good to be true, it probably is!
Thanks for the entertainment brother!
Well wishes
Pete, I love the way you look into the camera with disgust at the bare cheek these people have, them thinking you don’t know what you’re talking about.🤣 Thank you for your wealth of knowledge over the years. Whenever I’m over in the US, I will definitely come visit.👍🏻
your original compilation of scammers is how I found you, and I'm here for it!
Man, you have an unbelievable amount of knowledge.
The first guy with the goofy sunglasses...reminds me of the kinda guy that wishes he was wealthy but everything about him, from watch, to clothes, to the glasses, is a big fat lie!!
He was a scammer with a forex pyramid scheme 😂
Super cool being able to finally step feet inside the store after watching the channel so long! Appreciate the help today, most definitely will be taking another trip soon!
( guy who brought the tabletop hockey and Subwoofer in today )
So much respect for the store for not buying stolen stuff. That is not a good way to make money and you know this and I appreciate that very very nice.!! 👍
no legitimate pawn shop would buy stolen goods.
The police can take it away if a report is lodged and verified, and they're out of money.
if it's also found that they did not do due diligence to identify the rightful owner of the item, whether deliberately or through negligence, they could be fined/lose their license
It's not really legal to buy stolen stuff. If the cops came in looking for it and they had it, they could take it and the store is out that money.
Someone please explain how they figured it was stolen.
@@albertlwj I would assume if they did it enough, they could face felony charges for receiving and selling stolen goods.
@@FalaqX. Never used, still in retail packaging, boxes not opened (the cable tie is still on the case), multiples of the same item, other factors.
I agree on the two gentlemen selling “ Grandpa’s New Power-tools..”but no dust on them unused, one is sealed!..but since 2020 with all the videos I’ve seen (Not insinuating they are stolen)…people walking into Home Depot and grabbing up tools..I would be hesitant to
They were absolutely stolen . Nobody buys new tools and dosnt use them. If they didn’t want them they would just return them and get their money back.
7:07 I would’ve said ‘Show me a photo of the shed and all the tools inside and I’ll buy.’ They were planning on unloading hot tools they didn’t have yet.
Love the content. You deal with some real winners!
And you have a great sense of humor.
Plot twist: “Grandpa” is actually the alias of a local crime ring
this is the first ever video I have seen on this channel and I think you have a timeless cool quality about these videos so keep it up.. I saw 95% of it so good going. the guitar thief was my favourite. Thanks and congrats on such a wonderful channel. You seem so self assured , its quite a lesson for us entrepreneurs.
Fun show. Appreciate the editing and full story explanations. Pet Honey for me
I just happened upon your amazing video!!
Awesome!!
New sub here!!
So refreshing to see an honest businessman conduct an upfront, won't deal with stolen tools etc.. days work!!
God bless your whole team!!🕊🙏🐾
I loveddd the subtle Flex when you showed the kid with the Rolex yours and said see how that flawlessly jus flows the air 😂
This channel is way more entertaining than any reality tv crap
4:17 bet he’s gonna walk around telling people he’s wearing a 30k watch 😭😂😂
This is the first time I’ve seen one of your videos. Totally hooked and subscribed. When this video is done, I’m checking out your others!!
Part 2 popcorn ready! Great content and keep them coming.
Hopefully they aren't repeats
These are all locked up...but the one by the door with a $1000 guitar we left unlocked 😂
A real '58 strat would probably be worth at least 10 times that amount.
looks fake. innit?
Probably a re-issue
Creative idea with regards to making this into TH-cam show. You have an awesome personality & learning a lot about scams.
Do any scammers just say, "Hey, I had to try, Pete!"
Hello from Romania! I just discovered this channel and I love your content! Thumbs up!!!
Romania providing the world with scammers
This was fun watching. So happy you got your guitar back!
This one had it all... scammers, a pursuit, a hot cop, and a dumb cop. Brilliant. Klepto thief?
Wow, I've already seen all of these. I must be addicted to your videos!
He said in the beggining it was a replay cos so many people wanted to see them ;)
I’m guilty too! 😵💫 addicted to weird YT! 🤣
You should put a ‘bing bong’ above the door so you can hear people coming in. Another Wicked vid. 👍
Rolex with a Quartz movement made me spit my coffee!🤣🤣
Oysterquartz: AM I A JOKE TO YOU??
(yes you are XD)
Rolex manufactured the Oysterquartz collection from 1977 until the early 2000s. During that time, Rolex made an assortment of Oysterquartz references, divided into Oysterquartz Datejust and Oysterquartz Day-Date lines.
Instant giveaway. I bought a fake Rolex in New York. It was a decent watch, but it was gaudy as hell. I gave it to my grandfather as a gag. He was a former jeweler so he appreciated the con.
If I were you, I'd instantly delete my comment and buy a moka, as nothing beats true Italian coffee.
@@andyonthemoon Yes, nothing beats a "moka" except for maybe a mocha..
Hey! Really like your channel/store. My Mom and Dad grew up in Chicago during the Great Depression, my mom remembered the St. Valentines day massacre; she had just gotten home from school and heard about it on the radio. I visited relatives years ago a few times my uncle was an architect and did restaurant interiors. I love that town, have you been to the scale model of the Leaning Tower of Pisa? 1/3 scale including the lean...
love your content man, something bout authentic folk just doing business is so entertaining
Whoever edits ur videos did an awesome job by adding that metal gear solid alert sound 😂
I also liked how u took some responsibility for the lock case. We dont see people doing that as much anymore
Keep it coming with these scammer videos. We love it
The balls on this man. First time viewer and newest fan😊
Gotta love Pete! So cool, so respectful. So certain about all of these scammers. Great job Pete! Really enjoy how u dismantle the scammers! Love it!!!
So if you got a chain like that at 10:00 what are the chances that maybe 1/3 links are fake? You'd have to be testing all of them?
I think their grandfather owned a hardware store and closed it down before he died and left all those tools in his shed. The possibilities are endless 🤣😂
The individual scammer in the beginning most likely possessed a collection of counterfeit designer clothing. Knowing the watch wasn't authentic, he likely anticipated a buyer taking the risk, hoping for a jackpot.
How do you know that the clothing and accessories were counterfeit? You know that for a fact? How do you know this lol. Just curious.
@@christopherleusner4385 "most likely"
@@christopherleusner4385 🤡
Lol
@@christopherleusner4385you don’t have to know … the lil guys plain sketchy . You can hear it in his voice .
It’s like the watch guy in the beginning did everything he possibly could to dress like a guy that would scam a pawn shop lmao
