Suppose Jack steals a truckload of Sony​ high-definition televisions that are owned by Electronics Store. The thief resells the televisions to​ City-Mart, which does not know that the goods were stolen. If Electronics Store finds out where the televisions are, it can reclaim them. Because the thief had notitle in the goods, title was never transferred to City Mart. City Mart must return the goods to Electronics Store and can only sue the thief, assuming the thief can ever be found.

Answer:

True

Explanation:

A thief that steals goods cannot pass good title of them, so any sale to a third party can be voided and the goods must return to their proper owner.

In this case even if City Mart purchased the TVs in good faith, they must return them to Electronics Store. So now City Mart's only hope to recover some money is to sue Jack.

It would be different if Jack had committed fraud in order to get the TVs and then sold them to City Mart. When a third party in good faith purchases goods obtained through fraud, go title passes to the buyer.
