Pets Pawns & Instruments — Attraction in Longview

I bought an Appraisal ring there for $600.00 14k 3.50 grams Blue Topaz and brought it back in for repair because the stone fell out, and never seen it since. Scott Vydra gave me the run around for months on locating it and never could. Finally, I asked him to compensate me for the loss of my ring. Like something comparable I'm value and he flat out told me NO! He wasn't going to exchange, refund or otherwise just like that! He can't do this and the public and via many several agencies are being informed. He messed with the wrong person meaning I will always make a wrong be right. It makes me wonder how many people are paying interest on an item they pawned and their item isn't even there. Always ask to see your pawn . Unfortunately for myself Vydra could not produce my ring and gave me the run around for over a year until I had enough of his excuses and the final straw was that he even had the gull to say to me I didn't pay the interest. Pay the interest on a ring that he sold I imagine because it was worth more than what they sold to me. This has been my experience and would not post anything other than...

I bought an appraisal ring for $600.00 cash and brought back in to have repaired because the stone fell out and at that time I pawned it while it was going out for repair. And Scott Vydra had said to me that he wouldn't charge me interest on the ring until it was back from repair and in the store...I have not seen the ring since I handed it over to him. Upon repeated inquiries to see if it was back from repair, they couldn't locate it. They said, " it's here somewhere", This has gone on for over a year. Finally, that was enough I need to be compensated, refunded, exchange for something of equal value, store credit, anything because the ring vanished. Scott Vydra flat out told me NO! He was not going to do a damn thing about my loss!!! Excuse me? Then has the audacity to say I didn't pay the interest on it! On a ring that he can't produce????? Which led me to think.... How many other people have items in pawn there and paying interest on......if their item is even there? I would check....

Great attitude, heard from the manager and other employee saying we need to advocate for ourselves in locating our stolen property. Badmouthing local law enforcement and the sherriffs for not doing there job. What about your business in helping out the comunitee in locating a Disabled Vets stolen belongings when provided video and picture evidence from my servailence cameras was just told to go through the local pd and that they give a list every day to the police department and that they need to do there job. What about the comunitee pulling together and doing our job.. Funny every other pawn shop in town this morning had plenty of help for me and was real friendly and more than willing to go above and beyond to check and see if they've recieved any of my stolen property this week. Thank you for the help in finding the most likely place stolen goods are pawned....
