Nonetheless, thieves usually get but a pittance of the potential value of "name-game" goods. They have no real vantage point from which to deal as it's obvious to most they attempt to sell to that the source of what they're selling is suspicious.
The really awful part is that, in the end, the cost of high in demand everyday goods stolen from manufacturers or sellers ends up being factored into future pricing by and then passed on to the consumer.
I do not know if the loss is handle in the same manner when it comes to counterfeit clothing, another big illegal industry here in New York.

Very true Venson. Sometimes the criminals will try to fence to industry professionals and cover up the real way the goods were gotten. Never works. I was approached in such cases and responded that I was already contacted by the manufacturer and local authorities that the goods are stolen. That response got the culprits to high tail out in short order. I didn't and wasn't. If the person[s] were not above board, they did what most guilty people do. Run and hide.
