You went to the market to buy a goods. But your money was not enough to buy these goods. You went thru many shops and find out the actual price and find your money below these price tag. On your way going, someone came with the goods and ask you to buy. You check it properly and it is the same with the market quality. Then he ask you to bring that your money you were pricing. He also told you that, he manage to take it without his master's notice. Is it right for one to buy these stolen goods if it is very cheap? Tell me your view and reasons

In the past I wouldn't have thought much about it. But I know how irritating its like to bebstolen from. I was in lagos n wanted to buy a cheap bb n was told I could buy a "hot" one for that price. So I didn't buy one. Short answer no I won't buy a stolen item especially if it was a frivolousity. But if I was hungry n didn't have enough money it would be a different story.

Hmmm, thank God Nairalanders have actually started overlooking 'Henglish'.
Really d dawn of a new era!

It is good to know the way other people respond to these. Here in south africa, people can buy stolen goods and no problems. Yesterday, someone came with a black berry phone and asked me to buy. I didn't buy it because i had no money and there is no problems buying stolen phone because the highest the owner of the stolen phone will do is to block it and make it useless. But when i was in 9ja, i saw people being arrested for buying stolen things. Here is my point, if you knowingly see i stolen goods, its good not to buy cause it will discourage the person will still and if will eventually stop. But if you went inside a market and bought a stolen goods unknowingly, plz be aware that the law of business in nigeria states that if you buy a goods whether stolen or non stolen in public market, you don't have a case to answer. Initially, police might try to make you fear but if you know the implications of these business law, you should not panick. Also make sure to ask for receipt even if you know its a stolen goods cause its a very strong evidence in court when it bear the name of the public market and any person.
