If I am unaware that these goods were stolen and had no inclination to really believe so... Say, if the items were bought on Ebay. Can I get in trouble if somehow, they are later discovered to be stolen in an investigation?

  1. Yes, it is called receiving stolen goods.  Whether or not you would be criminally prosecuted depends on the circumstances.  You may just be required to return the goods or pay restitution.


  2. Maybe, but they will be taken back from you.  As they aren't yours, ya know.
