The items on the counter in the shop had been pawned by a man who had used an American driving licence as his ID, issued in the state of New Mexico in the name Jack Bauer. He had received 16,430 kronor in total. Is this some sort of fucking joke? Jacob asked. How the hell can someone get away with calling himself Jack Bauer? Jack Bauer! The TV show? Twenty-four?
The shop items were pawned by a man using a stolen American driving license from New Mexico, with the name Jack Bauer, and he received 16,430 kronor for them. Jacob was shocked and questioned if this was a joke. He found it hard to believe that someone could use the name Jack Bauer, famously known as the protagonist from the TV show 24.
Jacob's surprise and disbelief suggest he was puzzled by the choice of the name and the situation. The use of the well-known character’s name in such a context seemed unusual, raising questions about the person's motives or sense of humor in adopting the name Jack Bauer for identity purposes. This incident highlights how pop culture references can sometimes appear in unexpected or ambiguous ways.
