I really don’t know the law on a personal possession point of view. When I was 18, I worked at a pawn shop. I know all the police had to do was show up with a police report and a way to positively identify the stolen property and we had to hand it over. Now I can imagine that I could have dug my heals in and demand a thorough process or simply lied and said I sold it for cash. But I guess I did what I thought was proper. I am sure someone will chime in with the appropriate legal point of view.
