So here's the story.

A friend of a friend of mine works for a department store in a different section. One day he saw people stealing plasmas from the store. In order to be hush hush about it, they told him he can have 1 thing off the truck per month. This month he got a ps3. He wants to sell it to me for 300.

Do I take it?

I mean, the ps3 kinda sucks. And I have a wii360.

But it's 300 dollars!

More of a morality question.

    There are these things. They're called laws. You may have heard of them. One of them is, "Receiving stolen property." Its frowned upon in most countries.

    Think, really hard now.

    Is a PS3 really worth talkin to Johnny Law? The Fuzz? The Man? The Bacon? The Five-O? The Flatfoots? The Po-Po?

    A wii, yeah, sure. But a PS3?

    How good of a friend is this this friend whose friend this guy is?

    You're very likely looking at accessory and your friend definitely is.

    Tell your friend to keep well away from these fellows. Consider turning them in to management and the authorities. There may be a reward in it for you.

    Will they reward me with the ps3?

    Because that'd be pretty cool.

    Not only would you be receiving stolen property, they could probably charge you as an accessory to grand theft.

    Turn them in.
