the story explination is below, but is it legal to trade [legal] goods for stolen merchindise, with intensions of reporting/returning it to the owner?
============STORY================
some of you may know me better than others, but I don't get jobs that you work hours on, I work for myself either doing something with websites, computers, family and friends, etc which gets me at about the same as a typical "job" might, but its just more fun doing it this way
but anyways, one of my new things... I bought some krispy kreme dounuts from my school and after school (within an hour or so) went over to the middle school and sold them at $1.50 each (bought for about $.50 each ). One of the kids at my school who basically everyone knows is really sketch and steals things and stuff, offered me an ipod or a watch for them... cause he uh, had "the munchies".
Honestly the first thing that came to my mind was ebay, but after that i thought of my sister who had her iPod mini stolen a while back and how upset she was.
So I came up with the idea of going out of my way to trade things like ipods or watches (which apparently have a street price of about $50), and handing it over to the police station or school or w/e with intentions of it being claimed, but if not, sell it on ebay for $200 or so, therefor funding "the operation". My predictions are that less than 1/4 of the iPods will be returned, therefore I won't really lose any money, but if I do i really don't care lol. Partly cause i would be doing the right thing, and partly because I'm pretty sure that if/when i return an item to someone they would give me a reward (because most people in our city are THAT nice )
