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.)
Can you sue for malicious prosecution after beating the charges of receiving stolen property for stolen property found in the trunk of someone else's vehicle pertaining to lack of probable cause?
I would say yes because what if the person who received the property did not know it was stolen? Would you want to be able to contest something against you if you knew it wasn't true? I know I would, so just think about it. If you got wrongfully charged with receiving stolen property and you didn't know the property was stolen when you received it, wouldn't you want to be able to contest the charge??

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.
Can you be charged with receiving stolen property if you get caught pawning that property?
Yes Whether or not you actually took the property from the owner, you accepted the goods from someone in order to be in a position to pawn them. You are in receipt of that property and therefore liable to answer the charge. Even if you did not know the property was stolen.
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.
Can you get in trouble for receiving stolen food and you didn't know that the food was stolen?
Yes, it is POSSIBLE, and you might be charged unless you can convince the investigating authorities that you truly did not know it and/or why you did not ask about it. If you are charged with Receiving Stolen Property the prosecution will have to prove that you knowingly accepted (received) the stolen goods.
Have you ever unknowingly sold stolen property?
No, I have never unknowingly sold stolen property.
IS Receiving Stolen Property larceny?
Receiving stolen property is not the same as larceny, although both involve stolen goods. Larceny refers specifically to the act of unlawfully taking someone else's property with the intent to permanently deprive the owner of it. In contrast, receiving stolen property involves possessing items that one knows or should know are stolen, without necessarily being involved in their theft. Both offenses are criminal, but they are distinct in their legal definitions and implications.
Can you get in trouble for receiving stolen money that was a gift?
If you took that money and now know it was stolen, yes you can be prosecuted under the law. Now you have become an accessory to the fact (receiving stolen property).
If you receive stolen property unknowingly and you have the property in your possession is it your responsibility to return it to the owner?
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.
