The simplest way is to ask questions regarding it's origin and how the person who claims to own it came to possess it. This requires intuition, observation and some guess work. If the item has a serial number or other identification you can check with law enforcement and ask that they compare it to items reported stolen. When in doubt, don't accept it!

If you're looking to buy an item you can always ask for for the serial number, then call your local police station and ask them to run a check on the serial number to see if it is stolen merchandise.

What do you do if you stole something from your friend?

If my best friend stole something from me I would definetly make sure that I am certain it was them. Then I would tell my parents about it and finally I would confront my friend,or if it is too difficult a situation then get your parents to confront their parents. Try and work it out with this friend but if they are continually letting you down with things like this then they aren't the best friend you would want to be around. Make ABSOLUTELY sure it was them . Then tell them you value your friendship more that what they stole, but you value honesty more than anything else. If they won't come clean with that assurance, time to get a new best friend. And yes, tell your parents if you must.
