'Receiving' means acquiring possession or control or lending on the security of the property. (b) In any prosecution under this Code section it shall not be necessary to show a conviction of the principal thief.


which is the way it is in any state. they must prove that you knew it was stolen and the simple act of bringing it to the police station will relieve you of any guilt.
