Dealing in altered property
Sec. 2.3. (a) As used in this section, "dealer" means a person who
buys or sells, or offers to buy or sell, personal property. The term
does not include the original retailer of personal property.
(b) A dealer who recklessly, knowingly, or intentionally buys or
sells personal property in which the identification number or
manufacturer's serial number has been removed, altered, obliterated,
or defaced commits dealing in altered property, a Class A
misdemeanor. However the offense is a Class D felony if the dealer
has a prior conviction of an offense under this chapter or if the fair
market value of the property is at least one thousand dollars ($1,000).
