    Default Bought a Stolen Bike - What Do I Do

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: ONTARIO CANADA

    Hi I bought a bike not knowing it was stolen from some guy off of Kjijiji (online classifieds). It turned out it didnt fit, so I posted to sell it and some other guy bought it. Turns out it didnt fit him either... so he posted it, and the cops found the ad arrested him and took the bike.
    This guy is now calling me to get his money back..

    what do I do? Other than the moral thing to do by giving or splitting the money, what legal advice could you give me?

    I cannot find the guy who I originally bought it from. He deleted his ad, and I do not have his number.

    well, I guess you give the guy that you sold the bike to his money back and keep trying to find the guy you bought the bike from so you can make a demand or sue him if you ever find him.

    He may have deleted his ad, but my guess is that the service has a complete record of the ad. You provided the information about the seller - the date of the ad, its general content, how you came into contact with the seller, where you purchased the bicycle, etc., to the police?

    Turns out I did find his original ad... now I have his phone number, and his apartment building address... still don't have his name though.

    ad has proof with pictures and date of posting. Where can I go from here.
