Top Cash Pawn reportedly never intended on selling the records.
Fox 4 Dallas recently ran a segment on The D.O.C. receiving five of his missing platinum albums.
Taylor Peckwood, who works at Top Cash Pawn in Plano, TX, says five years ago a man sold the pawn shop the albums bearing D.O.C.'s initials, claiming they were legitimate platinum records.
Top Cash Pawn reportedly never intended on selling the records and until last month. They were kept in a closet. Once the pawn shop remodeled, the records were hung on a wall for display.
Weeks later, an N.W.A fan visited the store and posted a photo of the plaques on the Internet. He also reached out via Twitter to The D.O.C., who worked with N.W.A, to express how disappointed he was that the records were on display at a pawn shop instead of with their rightful owner.
Top Cash Pawn's owner says he later received a phone message from The D.O.C. asking for his plaques back. The West Dallas-born rapper explained that the plaques really mean a lot to him.
Top Cash Pawn has returned the albums. The D.O.C. thanked those involved via Twitter for helping him reunite with his albums.
