Rhea noticed this sign in a pawn shop on 3rd Street in downtown Troy today.
That's one way to get back at him.
(Thanks, Rhea!)

In Hawaii, the pawn shops advertise the normal stuff: "We buy gold, jewelry, electronics," but they also specifically mention ukuleles. It made me really sad to think about a person having to pawn their ukulele.
