Very very true. Its amazing how much things would change if everyone stopped buying stolen goods. This vice would barely be a problem.  Sure, one can steal for personal use, but they would be done after a single crime.

The fact that there is a market for stolen good is why these guys commit the crime over and over again.  And because of that reason, I consider people who buy stolen properties worse that those who actually steal.

And all the more reason why possession of stolen good should not be entertained legally. Should be punished as actual theft or even worse.
