Possession of stolen property is a criminal charge issued when a person has property that was knowingly obtained through a crime. Whether you stole the property or not doesn't matter; having it in your possession and knowing it was stolen is enough to be charged. Even if you didn't know or insist you didn't know, if the Court finds that you should have known or investigated further, you may still be charged and convicted. The penalties for possession of stolen property are usually divided into two categories: Property valued over $5,000 and property valued under $5,000. If you are convicted, the penalties can range anywhere from a discharge (being found guilty but not criminally convicted), heavy fines, probation, and up to 10 years of jail time.
