An example would be if a thief sells a stolen gun to an individual or a pawn shop...who is charged for the theft? The thief or the recipient?
The thief gets charged. If the stolen product is recovered, the recipient gets it taken away from him/her and is out the money spent. Both end up losing. The pawn shop has the option of banning you for entering the store if they so choose (ie. if they feel you bought it knowing that it was a stolen item).
