How many of us have been approached by a stranger offering electronic equipment or other things that he was selling cheap out of the back of his truck or van?  This is a very common occurrence.  Penal Code Section 496 states that when one receives any property that has been stolen, and one knows that this property has been stolen, one is guilty of violating this statute.  The usual issue in these cases is whether or not the person receiving the stolen property knew that the property was stolen.  In order to make this determination various factors are considered such as the price, the location, lack of documentation, lack of a receipt, and others.  For example, if you are asked to buy a flat screen TV that regularly costs over $1,000 for $300 cash, with no receipt and no warranty, chances are that this set is stolen.
