[QUOTE="jakeman, post: 3889819, member: 10690"] Put yourself on the other side of it. I’ve had guns stolen in the past. I don’t care where or how the police find them, and how many times they’ve changed hands since they were illegally taken from me, if the police can find them I’m going to want them back. Just because they’ve been sold, that doesn’t mean they haven’t been stolen. If that was the case stolen property fencing would be a valid business model. Buying and selling between individuals is caveat emptor. I can’t imagine anyone that ever had anything taken wouldn’t want the police to even notify them if they turned up. I also can’t imagine anyone wanting the police to call them and say “hey we found your stolen property but the current possessor has a bill of sale, so pound sand.” There are ways to get back what you’ve paid if you’re a victim of something like this, but it isn’t the original victim’s responsibility to make you whole. I don’t caree what the item is. It could be a gun, a vehicle or a toaster. If it was stolen from me and the police find it, I’ll want it back. YMMV [/QUOTE]
