1. RE: LOOTED (STOLEN GOODS)
THE DOCTRINE OF RECENT POSSESSION
In law, the doctrine of recent possession states that the man who is in possession of stolen goods soon after the theft is either the thief or is a receiver of stolen goods knowing them to be stolen.
2. What this simply means is that, if any of the looted goods or items are found with you, you can be charged for either stealing or receiving stolen goods knowing them to be stolen.
The punishment for receiving stolen goods may range from between 7yrs to life imprisonment.
3. In essence, this is not the time to buy goods you do not know the source. If found with a stolen good, the burden is upon you to prove that you did not know that it was stolen. It will be difficult to prove that you didnt know that a new 60" tv you bought for 30k was stolen.
