It doesn't matter if it's in good faith or not; the buyer was receiving stolen goods (whether they knew it or not).

This has happened a lot with japanese car imports recently. People buy a jap imported car - sometimes for prices in the $40,000 range, and get it taken away by the police and returned to japan. NO compensation, unless they can sue the dealer they bought it from and get the money back. Because of the demand for fast RHD jap cars (supras, imprezas, etc) this has been happening a lot. One sensationalist TV programme was saying that up to about 25% of all the jap imports were stolen, but there was no easy way of checking the stolen registers in other countries.
