Horace,

You're a lawyer. Do your lawyery thing and ask the necessary questions, like, Was the title actually transferred?, etc.

Seems that there should be some kind of protection here, just as there is in the case of an antique or art dealer who takes advantage of the unknowing.

Just my $.02 (or less).
