People going to the pawn shop would've been greeted either by a grieving Belle or a "Closed" sign, and asked questions. Since Storybrooke is apparently a small town, despite in-show information calling it a county AND it having the population of MULTIPLE kingdoms, news traveled fast, as they are wont to do in small towns (See: "Gilmore Girls"), especially in Storybrooke where being out of the news loop for one day can be the difference between life and death. At this point, my headcanon is that Regina has an "Amber Alert"-style newsflash that hits all cellphones, television channels and radio stations whenever something bad is about to happen in Storybrooke. She was the mayor, after all.
