Brent's points are well taken and are probably the preferred public policy. I am concerned, however, that a dealer who has already surrendered some documents under the general procedure, and presumably been compensated, is found to be offering a document from the same source for sale after the surrender of the first set of documents. I believe that a greater public interest in that case may be served by prosecution. One could argue quite strongly that he was engaged in concealing known stolen property.
