   I don't understand the first step after acquiring the stolen     
   goods. They "bring the stolen goods.." "..to various stores"     
   ..seeking a credit. Seems to me that the store is stupid to     
   even accept those stolen goods!  Are the stores assuming it was     
   previously purchased product from THEIR store?
