A. It is a crime for a person to buy or receive in any manner, upon any consideration, any personal property of any value that has been stolen, embezzled, obtained by false pretense or robbery, knowing or having reasonable cause to believe the same to have been stolen, embezzled, obtained by false pretense or robbery, or to conceal, withhold or aid in concealing or withholding such property from the owner. Any person convicted of violating the foregoing provision shall be guilty of a felony.
B. Any person who without making reasonable inquiry buys, receives, conceals, withholds or aids in concealing or withholding any property which has been stolen, embezzled, obtained by false pretense or robbery, or otherwise criminally obtained, under such circumstances as should cause such person to make reasonable inquiry to ascertain that the person from whom such property was bought or received has the legal right to sell or deliver it shall be presumed to have bought or received such property knowing it to have been so stolen or wrongfully obtained. This presumption may, however, be rebutted by proof. Any person convicted of violating the foregoing provision shall be guilty of a felony.
