§ 28-82. Receiving and concealing stolen property.

No person shall buy, receive or aid in the concealment of any stolen, embezzled or converted money, goods or property knowing the same to have been stolen, embezzled or converted, if the value of the property purchased, received or concealed is less than $200.00. Any dealer in or collector of any merchandise or personal property, or the agent, employee or representative of a dealer in or collector of any merchandise or personal property, who fails to make reasonable inquiry that the person selling or delivering any stolen, embezzled or converted property to him or her has a legal right to do so, or who buys or receives any such property which has a registration, serial or other identifying number altered or obliterated on any external surface thereof, shall be presumed to have bought or received such property knowing it to have been stolen, embezzled or converted. This presumption may be rebutted by proof. A person violating this section is subject to imprisonment for not more than 93 days or a fine of not more than $500.00 or three times the value of the property purchased, received, possessed, or concealed, whichever is greater, or both imprisonment and a fine.
