You might have paid the TV second hand, and not be aware of the theft. What recourse do you have then? You're out of pocket, the seller might not be reachable anymore, and you have no proof of purchase.
- anonuser123456 5y agoSupply chains matter and that has always been true. You have never had recourse for buying stolen goods under law. If you buy stolen goods, the police can seize them and you are out the money.

- colejohnson66 5y agoIf it was stolen, it was never yours, even if you paid the thief for it. At least in the US, this is a settled matter; You have no right to a stolen good that you paid for.
- reaperducer 5y agoI don't dispute that. I just don't like huge corporations in other countries acting like the criminal justice where I live.

In the long term I would expect some technology for proving provenance pops up but it might be a little painful until that happens.
