All pawnbrokers doing business in the city shall keep a standard record book that has been approved by the Chief of Police. At the time of each and every purchase, loan or taking of a pledge, an accurate account and description of all the goods, articles or other things pawned or pledged; the amount of money, value or thing loaned thereon, the time of pledging the same, the rate of interest to be paid on such loan and the name and residence address of the person making such sale, pawn or pledge shall be entered in the record book. All items of jewelry taken for resale or pawn or pledge or held shall be clearly photographed in color so as to be able to clearly identify the item of jewelry and all photographs taken shall be maintained and preserved as herein provided. All such entries shall be printed, typed or written in ink in the record book. Record book entries shall also include the serial number or any identification number of items received. Except for items purchased from dealers possessing a federal employee identification number who have provided a receipt to the pawnbroker, every pawnbroker shall also record, in its record book, an accurate account or description, serial number or other identification number of all goods, articles and other things purchased or received for the purpose of resale or loan collateral by the pawnbroker from any source, not in the course of a pledge or loan, the time of such purchase or receipt and the time and the name and address of the person or business which sold or delivered such goods, articles or other things to the pawnbroker. No entry made in the record book shall be erased, mutilated, altered or in any way changed.
