Answer:

Yes and no

Step-by-step explanation:

It would depend on the person and the stitiuon, if we are talking about a person with any learning disabilities then no, without yes. He would be held responsible as an accomplice in a theft because he knew they were stolen. In most cases no matter what the issue is he wouldn't get in trouble unless they were trying to get proof of him either bragging, talking, or taking part in the crime to prove that there was some possibility of another crime that he was linked in.
