It is a crime to possess stolen property, this is why. That law is on the books to protect us.

McNuggett was screwed over by the guy that sold him the truck, not by the guy whose truck was stolen. Unfortunately a very expensive lesson learned. I do agree with the comment above about going after the guy who sold you the truck.
There must be more to this story. How did they choose your truck to check? Does the VIN tag on the truck have the original rosette rivets in it? Does your truck match the description of the stolen truck (color, interior, etc.)?
