Over Thanksgiving weekend, I went to a pawn shop with my father-in-law and brother-in-law. While they perused the power tools, saddles and firearms, I spent most of my time looking at musical instruments, amplifiers and electronics. As I didn't find anything that caught my fancy, I decided to look through the rack of CDs. I saw some old CDs that brought back fond memories (Real McCoy, Boyz II Men, etc.), as well as some Christmas CDs that I was trying to remember if my wife already owned or not.
Then all of a sudden a CD caught my full attention. I looked at the familiar spine with skepticism and carefully pulled it off the shelf from under the stack resting above it. This was the image on the front cover:
That's right - I found
All I Fear, my own CD from 2001 sitting the EZ Money pawn shop in Burley, ID. I'm still not sure if I should be flattered or offended. But if you're in the money for a $2 Chris Hartwell album, now you'll know where to go.

Hahaha!! That's really funny to me for some reason - just the randomness of it. Well, pawn shops are for prized items that people have to bring themselves to part with, so I think you should be flattered. (Plus, the pawn shop owner bought it, so that means he thought it was a good find!)
It means your famous....how many people could walk into a pawn shop and find their own CD...sounds like you should be flattered!
My vote is that whoever used to own it now has it all downloaded to their iPod - so they just didn't need the CD anymore! :)
A quandry indeed! I say, when in doubt, go with flattery.
