Just got a call from the Police, 300zx parts i bought are stolen

Maybe the parts were in the boot of Lewis Hamilton's car

 

No need. It is common law that you can't sell something you don't own. Anyway, a Detective Sergeant of the Robbery squad in the family is a pretty good resource, along with my 20+ years as a senior claims officer of an insurance company.

Insurers pay out on stolen cars, and then own them, down to the wheels nuts. If they are found, wherever and whenever, they are confiscated and returned to the insurer. I notice the other day in the media a really sad case of a guy who was suckered on a rebirth of a Land Rover. He was out of pocket by $26,000, and the loss of the car destroyed him financially. The insurer sold it back to him for $1,000 ex gratia. A rare case, but good to see.

Tell your law lecturer I have a fine example of bridgework for sale, one owner, has toll rights, and lets people migrate easily from one side of Sydney Harbour to the other. And I offer this at a very good price in the best of faith - Uberrima Fides even. Gee, all of this legal Latin comes flooding back.

 

Worse than Parking Inspectors and Real Estate Agents :rofl:

 

Maybe, but we still rated higher than Journalists, Lawyers D), Politicians, Child Molesters and statistical error.

R v Bruce
§ “Where an accused person is in possession of property which is recently stolen, the jury is entitled to infer as a matter of fact, in the absence of any reasonable explanation, guilty knowledge on the part of the accused.

 

That's from the Queenslands Criminal Code... not much use for someone in Victoria which doesn't have a criminal code

Try looking at Section 88 of the Crimes Act 1958.

 

Yeah that is right, I know this as general knowledge also. Also heard plenty of examples over the years of this happening....

 

tell the cops they can buy them from you at the price you paid for them. maybe they should have cought the guy BEFORE HE STOLE AND SOLD 100 CARS?? ****ing retards.

 

This isn't the Minority Report rofl

 

Then you'd be dealing in stolen goods...
