IANAL, the law I was looking for I can't find - can just locate this which isn't directly related[0]. Perhaps I need to look more at the proceeds of crime. Interesting point you raise. I know the police can confiscate the proceeds of crime, and if I buy a car that is stolen it's not legally mine, however as to whether if the money used to purchase the item was stolen, well. Would it be fraud then? If so, I'd still think obtaining goods by deception would cover the car being reclaimed if possible.
