RE: Pawnshop License held by Cash-N-Pawn of Minnesota Ltd.. dfb(a Cash-N-Pawn for the
premises located at 490 University Avenue West in Saint Paui
License ID #: 55747
Dear Sir/Madam:
The Office of License, Inspections and Environmental Protection (LIEP) has
recommended adverse action against the Pawnshop license held by Cash-N-Pawn of Minnesota
Ltd.. d/b!a Cash-N-Pawn for the premises located at 490 [Iniversity Avenue West in Saint Paul.
The basis for the recommendation is as follows:
Sgt. Michael Simmons is responsible for monitoring
compliance by the pawn shops in the city with the ordinance
requirements for documenting pawn transactions. While
checking items taken in on pawn by Cash-N-Pawn, located at
490 �V. University Avenue, on February 13, 2001 and February
14, 2001, Sgt. Simmons found an item reported stolen in a
garage burglary in St. Paul. On Apri120, 2001 he requested
the videotapes of the pawn traasactions and �vas told that they
did not exist. The store manager he spoke to stated that the
tape on the VCR had ended on February 13, 2001 and was not
changed for a forty-five minute period, during which one of the
transactions took place. Additionally on March 24, 2001, the
VCR had been broken for three days and no recording had
been done. Saint Paul Legislative Code §344.04(a)(6)i. reyuires
that each transaction be videotaped.

NARRATIVE .��
I, Sgt, Simmons work in the Vice Unit of the St. Paul Police Department. My main }ob here is to monitor '�
the Pawn shops within the City. '
Pawn shops are re�ulated by City Ordinance 344.00. Ordinance 344.04 (a)(6b) &(3) (i) states that all
Pawn shops are required to video tape all transactions and maintain a dated copy of this recording for
four months or 120 days. Cash-n-Pawn 4, 490 W. University, 651-227-5080, did the following. On 2-13-
2001 at 1629 hours, they took in a Craftsman Snowblower under transaction number 012177. On 3-24-
2001 at 1423 hours, they took in a Diamondback 12 speed bike under transaction number 012356. The
customer in both of these transaction was Brown, Antonio, 7-7-64. While checking these items thru
NCIC, I found that the bike was stolen in a garage burglary in St. Paul, repo¢ed under CN- O1-05�935.
The snowblower comes back cleaz at this time. On 4-20-01 I called Cash-n-Pawn and talked to Mgr.
James Ganzer, Ganzer told me that he could not show me a tape for either of the above 2ransac[ions.
He stated that on 2-13-01, the tape in the VCR had ended and wasn't changed until afrer abouc forty-

five minutes. On 3-24-01 ihe VCR had been broken for up to ttuee days and no recording had been
done during this period. The fact that tl�ese uausactions had not been rewrded and saved is a violation
of Pawn shop regulation 344.04 (a)(6b) &(3) (i). In ffiis particulu case, not having the video transaction
on tape may result in not chazging the individual who pawned it.

RE: Pawnshop License held by Cash-N-Pawn of Minnesota Ltd.. dfb(a Cash-N-Pawn for the
premises located at 490 University Avenue West in Saint Paui
License ID #: 55747
Dear Sir/Madam:
The Office of License, Inspections and Environmental Protection (LIEP) has
recommended adverse action against the Pawnshop license held by Cash-N-Pawn of Minnesota
Ltd.. d/b!a Cash-N-Pawn for the premises located at 490 [Iniversity Avenue West in Saint Paul.
The basis for the recommendation is as follows:
Sgt. Michael Simmons is responsible for monitoring
compliance by the pawn shops in the city with the ordinance
requirements for documenting pawn transactions. While
checking items taken in on pawn by Cash-N-Pawn, located at
490 �V. University Avenue, on February 13, 2001 and February
14, 2001, Sgt. Simmons found an item reported stolen in a
garage burglary in St. Paul. On Apri120, 2001 he requested
the videotapes of the pawn traasactions and �vas told that they
did not exist. The store manager he spoke to stated that the
tape on the VCR had ended on February 13, 2001 and was not
changed for a forty-five minute period, during which one of the
transactions took place. Additionally on March 24, 2001, the
VCR had been broken for three days and no recording had
been done. Saint Paul Legislative Code §344.04(a)(6)i. reyuires
that each transaction be videotaped.

NARRATIVE .��
I, Sgt, Simmons work in the Vice Unit of the St. Paul Police Department. My main }ob here is to monitor '�
the Pawn shops within the City. '
Pawn shops are re�ulated by City Ordinance 344.00. Ordinance 344.04 (a)(6b) &(3) (i) states that all
Pawn shops are required to video tape all transactions and maintain a dated copy of this recording for
four months or 120 days. Cash-n-Pawn 4, 490 W. University, 651-227-5080, did the following. On 2-13-
2001 at 1629 hours, they took in a Craftsman Snowblower under transaction number 012177. On 3-24-
2001 at 1423 hours, they took in a Diamondback 12 speed bike under transaction number 012356. The
customer in both of these transaction was Brown, Antonio, 7-7-64. While checking these items thru
NCIC, I found that the bike was stolen in a garage burglary in St. Paul, repo¢ed under CN- O1-05�935.
The snowblower comes back cleaz at this time. On 4-20-01 I called Cash-n-Pawn and talked to Mgr.
James Ganzer, Ganzer told me that he could not show me a tape for either of the above 2ransac[ions.
He stated that on 2-13-01, the tape in the VCR had ended and wasn't changed until afrer abouc forty-

five minutes. On 3-24-01 ihe VCR had been broken for up to ttuee days and no recording had been
done during this period. The fact that tl�ese uausactions had not been rewrded and saved is a violation
of Pawn shop regulation 344.04 (a)(6b) &(3) (i). In ffiis particulu case, not having the video transaction
on tape may result in not chazging the individual who pawned it.

RE: Pawnshop License held by Cash-N-Pawn of Minnesota Ltd.. dfb(a Cash-N-Pawn for the
premises located at 490 University Avenue West in Saint Paui
License ID #: 55747
Dear Sir/Madam:
The Office of License, Inspections and Environmental Protection (LIEP) has
recommended adverse action against the Pawnshop license held by Cash-N-Pawn of Minnesota
Ltd.. d/b!a Cash-N-Pawn for the premises located at 490 [Iniversity Avenue West in Saint Paul.
The basis for the recommendation is as follows:
Sgt. Michael Simmons is responsible for monitoring
compliance by the pawn shops in the city with the ordinance
requirements for documenting pawn transactions. While
checking items taken in on pawn by Cash-N-Pawn, located at
490 �V. University Avenue, on February 13, 2001 and February
14, 2001, Sgt. Simmons found an item reported stolen in a
garage burglary in St. Paul. On Apri120, 2001 he requested
the videotapes of the pawn traasactions and �vas told that they
did not exist. The store manager he spoke to stated that the
tape on the VCR had ended on February 13, 2001 and was not
changed for a forty-five minute period, during which one of the
transactions took place. Additionally on March 24, 2001, the
VCR had been broken for three days and no recording had
been done. Saint Paul Legislative Code §344.04(a)(6)i. reyuires
that each transaction be videotaped.

NARRATIVE .��
I, Sgt, Simmons work in the Vice Unit of the St. Paul Police Department. My main }ob here is to monitor '�
the Pawn shops within the City. '
Pawn shops are re�ulated by City Ordinance 344.00. Ordinance 344.04 (a)(6b) &(3) (i) states that all
Pawn shops are required to video tape all transactions and maintain a dated copy of this recording for
four months or 120 days. Cash-n-Pawn 4, 490 W. University, 651-227-5080, did the following. On 2-13-
2001 at 1629 hours, they took in a Craftsman Snowblower under transaction number 012177. On 3-24-
2001 at 1423 hours, they took in a Diamondback 12 speed bike under transaction number 012356. The
customer in both of these transaction was Brown, Antonio, 7-7-64. While checking these items thru
NCIC, I found that the bike was stolen in a garage burglary in St. Paul, repo¢ed under CN- O1-05�935.
The snowblower comes back cleaz at this time. On 4-20-01 I called Cash-n-Pawn and talked to Mgr.
James Ganzer, Ganzer told me that he could not show me a tape for either of the above 2ransac[ions.
He stated that on 2-13-01, the tape in the VCR had ended and wasn't changed until afrer abouc forty-

five minutes. On 3-24-01 ihe VCR had been broken for up to ttuee days and no recording had been
done during this period. The fact that tl�ese uausactions had not been rewrded and saved is a violation
of Pawn shop regulation 344.04 (a)(6b) &(3) (i). In ffiis particulu case, not having the video transaction
on tape may result in not chazging the individual who pawned it.
