A person who receives and disposes of stolen property on a regular basis is called a ____.

• A. Evidence
• B. Fact
• C. Fence
• D. Field Identification

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is the terminology for someone who handles stolen property. A person who receives and disposes of stolen goods on a regular basis is called a fence. In policing terms, a fence is a middleman who buys stolen items from thieves and sells them, helping to move that property back into the market. This term fits because it specifically describes the role of dealing with stolen property, not just possessing it.

Evidence isn’t a person or role; it refers to items used to prove a crime. A fact is a piece of information or truth, not a person. Field identification is the process of recognizing a suspect in the field, not a description of someone who trades in stolen goods.
