Sale or Receipt of a Stolen Motor Vehicle is the illegal act of knowingly buying, selling, exchanging, receiving, or disposing of a stolen motor vehicle. This offense can be classified into two types: direct sale or receipt of a stolen motor vehicle and indirect sale or receipt of a stolen motor vehicle. Direct Sale or Receipt of a Stolen Motor Vehicle is the act of knowingly buying, selling, exchanging, or receiving a stolen motor vehicle that was stolen from the owner. This is often done without the knowledge of the original owner, as the thief may have already sold the vehicle to the buyer before the theft was reported. Indirect Sale or Receipt of a Stolen Motor Vehicle is the act of knowingly buying, selling, exchanging, or disposing of a stolen motor vehicle that was previously sold or disposed of by a third party, without the knowledge of the original owner. This type of sale or receipt of a stolen motor vehicle is often done in a disguised manner, such as through a middleman or through a false identity. In both cases, Sale or Receipt of a Stolen Motor Vehicle is a criminal offense and punishable by law. Penalties may include fines, jail time, and/or restitution to the owner of the stolen vehicle.
