A:
I'm sorry to hear about your experience. It sounds frustrating to deal with damaged merchandise and incorrect handling of your property.
You likely have a valid case since you have evidence showing the merchandise wasn't yours and that it was damaged. Start by gathering all your documentation, including photos and any communication with the pawn shop. This evidence will be crucial in supporting your claim.
Next, consider contacting a local attorney or your state's consumer protection agency for guidance. You might also file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. If necessary, you can pursue the matter in small claims court to seek compensation for your loss and any damages.
