Accidentally bought a stolen TV what do I do?
    #20536567 - 09/08/14 04:08 AM (9 years, 5 months ago)

I got a tv on craigslist and I found out that It was stolen and the cops have been notified

Will I get arrested or just him?

He has been to my house but apartment but probably doesnt remember the number


I dont want to get in trouble and I want to give it back but I fucking love this tv and if I give it back Ill probably just loose the money .

Sell it to somebody.
Give it back.
Don't give it back and possibly go to jail.

I think "receiving stolen property" actually exists which is pretty stupid.

Don't know about the US legal situation, but around here, you're basically obliged to give the TV back to the original owner and you'll have to try to get your money back from the seller you got it from. Obviously, you can file charges against the seller for selling stolen property.

The "stolen property" thing only exists if you KNOW it has been stolen before buying. OP did not know this. If somebody sells me a stolen car with a pink slip and I had no idea it was stolen, the person who sold me the car is liable. Now if somebody sells you a car without a pink slip, then you may be liable.

If I were you OP, I would give the TV back, and ask for the money back from the person who sold it. If he does not give the money back, you can legally press charges against him. Once the charges are filed, you can take him to small claims court.
