I unknowingly received a stolen trailer by trading my trailer for it. The stolen trailer had been returned to the rightful owner, leaving me empty handed. I have the original purchase documents for my previous trailer and would like it back or payment for it. What is the precedent in court for this kind of situation? Is it like passing a bad check or failing to pay so the transaction is null and void and I get my property back? Or do I accept all loss for having the stolen goods in my possession last?
