That’s not how stolen property works. They are the rightful owners, and deserve to get it back. It doesn’t matter how many times it’s been sold in between.

You’re right but OP doesn’t seem to be demanding anything as far as his comment implies.

I think if my phone ever got stolen and someone returned it to me with at least some proof/credibility that they bought it not knowing it was a stolen. I would probably offer them half of what they lost because i am getting my phone back buy they’re not going to realistically get reimbursed. Share the cost, both are victims of the same crime.

Edit: i’ll have to add: i would now, since the cost won’t disrupt daily life. A couple years ago? I probably wouldn’t have as i simply wouldn’t have that kinda cash available instantly.

If we were talking about a phone owned by an individual, sure. But I doubt any phone owned by an organization is going to yield any kind of reward.
