When a thief fences stolen goods they don't magically become un-stolen.

When a thief fences stolen goods they don't magically become un-stolen.
- ChuckNorris89 4y agoSure, but unless the police catches the crook an seizes their money then return it to the victims, then the person who unknowingly bought the stolen good can't magically un-buy it and get their money back.
- Suzuran 4y agoThis makes the unwary buyer a victim of the thief as well. All the more reason to brick stolen devices and make them unsellable by the thief so they can't victimize more people.
