You should know that the law about market overt doesn’t work in New Zealand. Market overt was an old rule that said if you bought something in an open market, you could keep it even if it was stolen. But in New Zealand, this rule doesn’t apply. This means that if you buy something that turns out to be stolen, you might have to give it back, even if you bought it in a public market.
