That could be a stretch, but you can possibly be charged with knowingly having stolen property and not reporting it.
You have to file a police report. Hopefully the police will be able to return the goods.
The goods must be received for a dishonest purpose. Therefore, a person who receives stolen property for the purpose of returning it to its owner or to proper authorities is not guilty of receiving stolen property.
Call your local police precinct and ask them what the local procedure is.
Expect the police to expect YOU to explain how you came to possess a gun that had been stolen- just like any other property.
If you received it unknowingly how would you know who to return it to? The best thing to do is turn it in to the police. well since you are asking that means that you know, which means that you are now knowingly in possession of stolen property. inform the police if nobody claims it you keep it normally.
The law requires that the Police Department be notified. The police will then notify legal owner so they can come and claim the property.
No, not if he/she has no ownership over any of your property, if he/she has done this, it is classed as stealing. You should inform the police that he has stolen your property. I hope this helps :)
Yes, it is possible. You need to contact your local Police Department. The car may have been stolen and abandoned on your property.
The store doesn't 'send' police officers anywhere. It is part of the officer's duties in conducting their follow-up investigation of the store's report of a theft. If you have been identified, the police will come to your residence to recover the stolen property and arrest you.
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.
Inform the police. Both the pawn shop and the individual selling it can be prosecuted.
