If you get those 3 stolen coins, and don't want them. The easiest is to just transfer them to a burn-address.
If you fear people are ever going to demand it back, either try to transfer it back, or transfer it to a separate holding wallet. Authorities might also set up a special address for collecting these kinds of coins.
This makes me think, what happens to fees?
Suppose I take those 3 BTC and 'burn' it by creating a chain of 100 transactions, each with a fee of 10%? At the end, all of the stolen coins have evaporated into fees. Are those fees tainted?
If not, miners could try to white-wash coins this way.
