kholt and X, saw this and thought I might clarify. Person B is only person with a legally enforceable claim to the vase. The second hand shop never had any rights to transfer to A because it was stolen from A. You can generally not transfer more property rights in a something than you had. This common law rule has been codified in the Uniform Commercial Code. It makes sense, no?

<<Person A buys a vase at a second hand shop in complete innocence.
Turns out the vase was stolen, but person A had no way of knowing
that, and acting in complete innocence bought the vase. Person B
originally owned the vase. Both people really have a right to the vase.
No they don't, the innocent buyer has been cheated also.>>

Is there no point at which you just throw up your hands and give up? Are you indefatigable or just a glutton for punishment? <g> I'm getting exhausted just watching you.
