BH just got back the most sentimental item that was there (which was how it was traced back to me - there was a bentcher from my Chasuna in the box along with the item).
The proprietor of the pawn shop says he only purchased it a year and a half ago, and nothing else along with it, but he was given some (unclear) pictures of some of the other items, and will check in the various places he keeps items whether anything is there, or if it shows up by someone wanting to sell to him.
Now comes the next question, do I say שהחיינו?
