If I buy a CB and sell it at 1/3 MSRP for a quick sale if I needed cash, stealing would be irrelevant.

I was going to wait till I read the whole thing but then you said it.
Yes if nothing happens it may be irrelevant .
Theft by recieving has to be proved. One of the ways the case is built is whether you gave a fair price for it . If you gave 10 bucks for high dollar cb , then you could be charged with theft by recieving if it was stolen. Of course if it wasnt stolen you would never hear anything about it . A rule of thumb is to stay clear of such deals because of legal ethics if not moral.
This question deals with both legal and moral because you read the price of the fuel at the island. This wasnt a question of knowing value where a cb might be as it might be faulty. You stated your self you would not accept fuel from another truck so you didnt question the fuel value from the pump.
