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?
