OK, who here wrote this cheesy comment:
I wood knot have done that. The police need to root these guys out. They should have leafed that woman alone. This makes me so sick I just want to bark.
 
Where do they keep finding these people!?

There are a lot of people who have absolutely no issue with buying stolen goods. they make easy marks because you can't really go to the police and say you got ripped off trying to buy stolen goods. The lady may have claimed she didn't realize a $180 ipad could have been one that was stolen... but she knew.

Yes of course you are right. I didn't even think of it from the point of view of there being a market in real stolen goods.
