if you pretend not to know then its just a mistake or misunderstanding.
most cops will be either suspicious but lacking evidence or understanding.
(of course if it had some marking of ownership or its a controlled substance then it'll be harder to sell that view)

What recourse do you have if you unknowingly purchase stolen property?
Absolutely not. Recovered stolen property is returned to the rightful owner. If a reasonable person knows, or has reason to know, that property that has come into their possession, through gift or purchase, is potentially stolen, and that person maintains that property, they are guilty of possession of stolen property. This means that if your friend sells you a $2000.00 stereo for $100.00 (which is obviously a deal too good to be true) and you keep the property believing that it may be stolen, you could be charged with a crime. You should also keep in mind that you can say that you didn't believe that the property was stolen when you kept it; however, if a jury of twelve people think that you should have had enough common sense to know the property was stolen, you could still be convicted.
