Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Re: Theft

If you purchase something, and later it is stolen from you, that isn't normally the fault of the company selling you the item(s) that were stolen.

If you're a home owner or you purchase renter's insurance you might be able to recover the loss from your insruance company. Also if you charged the items on a credit card, the card company may have some insurance that covers the loss of the items shortly after purchase.
