Receiving stolen property

Read a random definition: court-packing plan

A quick definition of Receiving stolen property:

Term: Receiving stolen property

Definition: Receiving stolen property means taking something that belongs to someone else without their permission. It is a crime when a person knows that the item they are taking is stolen and they plan to keep it for themselves instead of returning it to the rightful owner. This is wrong and against the law.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Receiving stolen property is a crime where a person is guilty of receiving property that they know is stolen and they intend to keep it permanently, depriving the rightful owner of their property.

Examples:

  • John buys a bike from a stranger for a very low price. He knows that the bike is stolen but he buys it anyway. John is guilty of receiving stolen property.
  • Samantha's friend gives her a watch as a gift. Samantha later finds out that the watch was stolen. She decides to keep it anyway. Samantha is guilty of receiving stolen property.

These examples illustrate the definition of receiving stolen property because in both cases, the individuals knew that the property was stolen and they intended to keep it permanently. This is a crime because it deprives the rightful owner of their property and encourages theft.
