Finding Out a Bought Item Had Been Stolen
If you bought an item and later found out that it had been stolen, you must return the item to the original owner, but that owner must refund to you the amount of money you paid.
Note If the article was insured and the previous owner had already received payment for the loss, you do not need to return it.
