In all countries I know the only stolen goods you can legally take possession of (if you acquire them in good faith) is cash. That means if someone steals money and then buys something from you the money is still yours. Everything else still belongs to the original owner and he/she has a claim against the person who has the item. Even if the item has been sold and resold several times.
