False.

Most pawned items are not stolen. Pawnshops are regulated: they must take ID, keep records, often report transactions to police, and hold items for a required period. While stolen goods sometimes surface, studies and law-enforcement practices show only a minority of inventory is illicit. If you want, I can provide sources or data for a specific city or state.
