14. One Customer Brought A Prehistoric Mammoth Fossil
People head to the pawn shop with their precious possessions because they need a little extra money. Sometimes it’s only meant as a temporary loan, and they want to purchase the item by slowly paying off the loan. Other times they are willing to part with the articles. Usually, people bring in their antiques or jewelry, but not always.
One Virginia pawn shop employee thought it was a typical day when a customer walked in, asking for a short-term loan. When the customer placed their collateral on the counter, they gave the employee a woolly mammoth fossilized tooth.
