I agree. You probably thwarted a robbery or worse, by being alert.

I'm surprised the clerk was so wimpy. You have to be tough to run a pawnshop. I remember I was in one some years ago that specialized in jewelry and precious metals. The door had to be buzzed open. The owner let in a bare-chested young man wearing a bunch of cheap gold chains around his neck.

The owner immediately asked, "Are you here to pawn something or buy."

The guy said, "Buy."

The owner said, "Buy what?"

The guy had to think about it for a few seconds and mumbled something, I forget what. He looked in the display cases for half a minute and left.
