Receiving Stolen Goods Crime Occurrences

The crime of receiving stolen property occurs when a person buys or possesses property that has been stolen through theft, fraud, deceit, embezzlement, or taken by any other unlawful means by someone else.

The receiver of stolen property could be convicted if he or she knew the goods were stolen at the time of receipt and was intending to aid the thief. Here are some examples:

  • A person buys a luxury watch from a street vendor at a surprisingly low price
  • A person suddenly acquires an expensive TV, car and/or other high-priced items without having the financial means to do so
  • A person offers his or her garage for storing unlawfully acquired items
  • A person receives a copy of an unlawfully acquired private or unpublished document, transcript, deed, or other form of intellectual property
