Excluding bootleg stuff, have you ever knowingly bought stolen goods?

Before anyone asks, I haven't.

I haven't. It's no better to knowingly buy stolen goods than to go and steal things for yourself.

Yeah i reckon so!

I have a genuine Japanese Hamtoro t-shirt from Camden Market, with the label ripped off. Gotta be a 'back of lorry' job.

Yes, I suppose so - we all have a couple of pirate or "bought down the pub" DVD's.
The only thing that physically came from somebodies house was a freeview box - somebody I know is a house clearer - you know the guys that have to clear out dead peoples houses and the deal was he got to keep whatever was in decent working order so he had a couple of the teles and i got a freeview boxes.

No I never have to the best of my knowledge. I don't buy from the type of street traders who look a bit dodgy if you know what I mean.

Hamtoro!!! Sore wa kawaii desu ^_^

Genuine Japanese? Must have fallen off a lorry a long way away, most stuff is manufactured in the US or for US companies under license

Not knowingly, but suppose I might have 'unknowingly' at sometime in my 52 years.

Wouldn't buy 'suspect' stuff either.

Lol, I meant that it was a genuine brand t-shirt....and I said Japanese because most people may not know what Hamtoro is. I didn't expect that it was made there...
