theft 4 by receiving stolen goods (if the sum of the goods are over $1000 "together" they don't treat it as a one by one thing), its a felony not a state matter don't get caught, and if you do then deny you knew it was stolen because how can they prove you knew it was stolen really, just make a good story.
