In some jurisdictions it is a crime to buy something that you knew, or should have known, to be stolen. Here it is called 'receiving stolen property', and at the $4k level it would be a felony. So if you know it's hot, don't get burned.

If you have piles of money you could buy it and tell local law enforcement what you did, that way if the rightful owner materializes then you could hand it over to him. This route could lead to you informing police about your 'friend' which you may want to avoid.

Hmmm... when you returned from meeting with your friend what would you think if you had a ring binder of similar cards missing, how would you want them dealt with?

Don't get burned.
