:47:02
Do any of these
look familiar? Here.

:47:05
Nick: Um...
:47:06
Yeah. This right here,
:47:07
only these two things
are switched.

:47:09
- That one?
- Yeah.

:47:10
That's a rare item there.
:47:12
Trial printing.
:47:13
Only a few in existence,
and worth about, uh...

:47:16
$200,000. Whoo!
:47:18
So the two together
would be worth...

:47:20
That's a $300,000
stay of execution.

:47:22
Unfortunately, it does
you no good to steal it.

:47:24
Ha! That's speaking
presumptuously.

:47:26
Yeah. Well, you're
asking about it,

:47:28
and it's not yours.
:47:30
Why would it do me no good
to steal it?

:47:32
Most items like those,
they're registered.

:47:35
Hence,
they're immovable.

:47:37
Now, uh... even if this one
happens to be unregistered,

:47:40
you steal it,
owner reports the theft,

:47:43
well, it's
immovable again.

:47:46
What if it wasn't
reported stolen?

:47:50
Why wouldn't it be?
:47:51
I don't know.
What if?

:47:54
You'd have to wait
two months.

:47:57
After 60 days,
no theft report,

:47:59
you can sell
the thing.

:48:00
Of course,
you'd want to muddy

:48:01
the trail of ownership
leading back to you,

:48:02
but that's not hard to do
if you have the right fence.

:48:05
And...
:48:07
what would
the right fence take?

:48:11
Ten percent?
:48:13
Twenty.
:48:14
Ha ha ha!
:48:15
You want me to check
:48:17
and see if there's
a listing on it?

:48:18
Yeah.
:48:22
Yeah.
:48:24
Look around.
:48:37
Nick: It's unregistered,
which means it's fair game.

:48:41
Charlie, the guy who
looked it up for me,

:48:42
he said he'd
advance me 1 5 grand

:48:43
upon receipt
of the stay.

:48:45
Then once he sold it,
he'd send us the rest.

:48:47
You trust him?
:48:48
Yeah.
:48:49
OK. So the trick is
to steal it from a house

:48:52
with an elaborate alarm system
:48:54
and a house-sitter who's not
allowed to invite anyone over

:48:56
without having it reported
stolen for at least two months?

:48:59
And without
getting caught.
