Possible reasons for Pawn Shop guy missing in Schedule 1

There are generally two possible primary reasons why the Pawn Shop guy might go missing in Schedule 1. For one, you may have got heat on you. If the police are on your tail, and there have been a lot of shootouts in the neighborhood, most NPCs, including Mick, the Pawn Shop manager, will go into hiding.

If that's not the case, he might also be missing because he's busy interacting with a different dealer. This would lead to him being absent from his shop for a temporary duration, which can last for a day or two, sometimes more.

As stated earlier, if you're under a ton of police pressure, most NPCs will avoid you. This includes the dealers in the Warehouse as well as the Pawn Shop guy. One of the best ways to get them working again is to evade the police and stay on the down-low for a few days. As the cops eventually lose interest in you, you'll find most dealers and shopkeepers opening up their businesses to you once again.
