Yeah, but like I said, in order to be charged with possession of stolen
property, they have to prove you knew they were stolen. Simply having them
is not enough. Keep in mind, I'm in Canada so I suppose it's possible our
laws are different.

As far as I know, 'they' don't have to prove that you knew the items were
stolen, that is irrelevant. The fact that the items are stolen is the
important part. A person buying a set of rims worth a grand and a bit, for
five hundred dollars, should be smart enough to know that the rims are not
cool to the touch.

Re: Stolen Chromes
 

If the rims are stolen and you are caught, they will confiscate the rims
regardless of whether or not you knew they were stolen. If they feel
that you should have understood that they were stolen you can be
prosecuted for possession of stolen property. From you posting here it
is obvious that the "should have understood" test is met.

Another point is that if the original owner spots you and your hot rims
he might decide to confront you with a tire arm rather than call the
authorities.

And, you've just opened a hole in the stolen parts supply chain, and it will
be filled.

Maybe with *your* rims.
