[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 7301370, member: 105098"]I never suggested this person wasn't a victim, or that they deserved someone stealing from them. HOWEVER people stealing other people's stuff was written about in the bible, it's not ending anytime soon, so either prepare for the worst case, or roll the dice I suppose. I looked up the address for this company, it comes back as inside a big office building with a union bank on the first floor. This is "Mint State Gold" right? I wonder if they robbed the bank too while they were at it, I bet not. people steal things from other people all the time. I myself have had firearms shoved in my face at 3 different times in my teen years by "robbers" before I figured out to stop being the victim and be proactive instead of reactive. it's just too easy to steal anything when there's almost no security to prevent it from happening or you "look" like a good target. the easier you look as a target, the more likely they are to feel froggy and jump because that's what they are, bottom feeders. As far as the part of the discussion here about buying stolen property, if you KNOWINGLY bought stolen property it's criminal you can be charged. However if you UNKNOWINGLY bought stolen property you likely won't get charged for it, but you will have to return it to the rightful owner of it. Your only recourse would be to go after the person that sold it to you and file for restitution against said criminal to get your money back from that person. If you do not agree to return the item after being notified that it is stolen, then at that point you can be prosecuted as it makes you a thief and knowing you have stolen goods on your hands.[/QUOTE]
