Top Five
... bizarre pawn attempts
1. A trophy mounted bear, in reared position
2. Gold teeth (a frequent offering)
3. A swimming pool
4. A loaded and cocked 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun (dropped on the service counter, pointing at employees, by a woman with a baby on her hip)
5. Bag of leather S&M "toys," including a mask, whip, and various rubber items (mistakenly presumed to be horse tack before the bag was opened)
