We all transact business every day. We buy. We sell. However, most times we do not even know where the goods we buy originate from. We do not know their root of title. We just walk into a store or market and buy. When buying, we do so in good faith, believing that the goods we are buying are not stolen.
Now imagine a situation where goods have been stolen from their owners and are then sold by the rogue to purchasers who are unaware that they are stolen goods. The thief then disappears. Who should have title to the goods? Whilst the original owners would argue that they deserve title to the goods as they were stolen from them, the innocent purchasers would argue that they had acted in good faith and had paid for the goods, and so should be allowed to retain them.
Businesses recover customer valuables that are left in their premises but in some cases fails to share information of found items either online or on print media due to fear of illegal claims, as a result found items accumulate and they never get back to their owners.
By reporting a Stolen/Lost Property online, you greatly increase your chance of recovery, long into the future.
