Third-Party Bona Fide Ownership Of Misappropriated Goods
What is the liability of a third party that acquired misappropriated goods bona fide?
Third parties (i.e. non-thief and non-owner) who acquire the stolen property, whether by purchase, loan, endowment, gift, inheritance, bequest, or other means, are obligated to return the item to the original owner (and compensate for damage and depreciation), even if they had no prior knowledge of the property’s misappropriation.
