Not enough information to answer the question. MY GUESS would be that law enforcement can PROVE that you DID once have the stolen property in your possession.

As a passenenger in a vehilce can I be charged with receiving stolen property for the stolen property found in the trunk of the vehicle I was riding?
No, although it would be a "stretch" for authorities they might be able to charge the passenger as an accessory to a crime if the person knew about the theft and the stolen property being transported in the vehicle they were riding in. Receiving stolen property means the person accepting the items was aware of the fact that those items were not the lawful property of the presenter and were obtained during the commission of a crime.

Is owning a handgun you suspect to be stolen a misdemeanor or a felony?
Strictly speaking, it's neither, but I know that's not what you meant. Owning or possessing a gun that is actually stolen CAN be a felony, however, it isn't always a crime. If you find out you have a stolen gun, you can, in most cases, turn it in to the local police without being charged with anything.Added: The biggest factor is if you KNOW that it IS stolen, or SUSPECT that it MIGHT be stolen. If you do not eliminate the doubt and confirm its legality you could be charged with Receiving Stolen Property.

I think the questioner may be confused in asking their question. Stolen property is "Fruits of the Crime." A"Motion to Suppress" is a legal motion made to a judge to have something prevented from being introduced at trial. There COULD be a motion made to suppress the introduction of stolen property. (???)
