"Despite the basic unfairness of all this, there may be a bigger issue here. Under state law, all merchants who deal in secondhand goods are required to hold those goods for 15 calendar days before selling them. The law is designed specifically to prevent the sale of stolen goods, and prevent situations like this."
This paragraph answers your qustion. They became just as guilty as the punk himself. Besides, do you think she would even get anything from the thief?
