If I have property stolen from a friends car should their home owners cover the loss or mine?

Neither homeowner's insurance will probably cover property stolen from a car. Homeowner's insurance usually only covers stuff stolen from your home. However, the automobile insurance policy might cover it.

What would happen if you get caught with stolen property that you bought off your friends?
You'd be arrested for receiving stolen property, but if you didn't give the cops the name of the person who stole it you'd be charged with stealing it yourself.
What recourse do you have if you unknowingly purchase stolen property?
Absolutely not. Recovered stolen property is returned to the rightful owner. If a reasonable person knows, or has reason to know, that property that has come into their possession, through gift or purchase, is potentially stolen, and that person maintains that property, they are guilty of possession of stolen property. This means that if your friend sells you a $2000.00 stereo for $100.00 (which is obviously a deal too good to be true) and you keep the property believing that it may be stolen, you could be charged with a crime. You should also keep in mind that you can say that you didn't believe that the property was stolen when you kept it; however, if a jury of twelve people think that you should have had enough common sense to know the property was stolen, you could still be convicted.
What is the difference between Possession of Stolen Property and Receiving Stolen Property?
Possession means that you have the property, chances are you knew it was stolen. Receiving Stolen Property means that you got it and you knew it was stolen. Typically this would be the person that bought it from a thief.
What is the minimum sentence for dealing in stolen property?
About the same as for the person who initially stole the property. Since you are selling known stolen property, one could face the same charges or more. See: http://pelleylawgroup.com/practice-areas/property-crimes/possession-of-stolen-property/
What would be the charge in Eauclaire WI for stolen property that you did not know was stolen?
If you actually had the stolen property you can be charged with "receiving stolen property" and you can use the "I didn't know" defense but the prosecution will try just as hard to believe that you DID know, or SHOULD HAVE known. (e.g.: you had in your possession a brand new 52" flat screen TV that you bought for $10.)
