In a situation when

You go to a flea market and buy a used color TV set for $100. One day you receive a notice that the owner of the TV, which had been stolen from her house and sold by the thief at the flea market, wants the set back. She says if you do not return the TV she will sue you for:

a. conversion, and probably win even though you did not know the set was stolen

Explanation:

Seeing for Conversion is when a person claims that you stole property from him or her. It is the equivalent of theft charges. Prosecutors are the ones that have to bring justice to these kinds of situations, and they can be carried out in small local courts or by the retirement of an attorney to follow the case. Nevertheless, if the person is found innocent, the accused can sue for damages.
