Legal Question in Consumer Law in North Carolina

My husband pawned a lawn mower for our neighbor in Dec 2019 with their permission. they were actually with him at the pawn shop. The mower was past the loan due date and was about to be forfeited when I went up and paid the loan off and took possession of the mower. I have the receipt from the pawn shop. Does my neighbor have any legal claim to it?
