    So Ukraine can announce that when the territories are retaken, the properties will be restored to the original owners without compensation to the buyers, and that the buyers may be investigated for trading in stolen property, I’m guessing. If you buy a car that was stolen, you will simply lose it, and you will not get your money back. If you buy it knowing it was stolen, I’m pretty sure that’s a felony-level offense.
