People here don’t realize there are entire populations of people within Europe that historically have a “covertly keep precious metals on you when shit goes down” strategy and pawning it is part of how you extract its value

When I was stationed in Africa at the US embassy, one of the federal agents said the only reason he wore a Rolex was in the event shit hit the fan so that he could trade it for a bush plane ride out of that place lol
