So this is the much talked about Sam's Loan (from the TV series Hardcore Pawn)!

There is a TV series in Australia's Channel 7 that has gained much popularity in recent days... it's called Hardcore Pawn. The TV series shows day to day events that happened in a pawn shop set in Detroit, Michigan. In one of the episode, the owner of the pawn shop (Les) was telling his son (Seth) a story of another pawn shop owned by Les' late grandfather. It's called Sam's Loan. You can check out the story of Sam's Loan in the link below...where Les shows Seth an old news story about a shootout at Les's father's pawn shop, in which a police office was killed.
