Yup, that is also why there are laws against Receiving Stolen Property [1] in the US. This is defined as:

>>According to general receiving stolen property laws, it is a crime to accept or purchase any property which you believe or have actual knowledge that it was obtained through illegal means, such as theft. However, receiving stolen property is its own separate crime and thus should not be confused with the similar criminal acts of theft, robbery, or extortion.

Knowingly receiving stolen property is a different thing.
