    sending PIs to recover stolen property instead of the police is the nice route.

    Exactly. However being in possession of stolen property is not itself a crime, you just don’t have any right to keep it. If you paid for it, then your claim is against whoever you paid.

    They could have got the police to reclaim the stolen property, however perhaps that might not have been as effective for them in investigating the leak. In any case, the stories about the Pinkertons threatening him might not be true, and he’d have every right to refuse them entry or even to speak to them. The fact that he did suggests he willingly complied.

      Knowingly being in possession of stolen property is a crime.

      If there’s no legitimate source and a reasonable person would recognize that it’s stolen by default, you can definitely go to jail.
