Criminal Possession of Stolen Property Just for Taking Some Stuff out of the Trash?

If I were law enforcement, I would also want to have a long talk with the “other jeweler in the building” who bought the stolen gems.

He had no reason to suspect anything awry: he knew the seller was a respectable security guard who worked there guarding his property among others, and his business rather expects people to bring in diamonds for sale.

$5 million in jewels for sale just meant the seller had been a wise investor.
