If someone trades a stolen bike to your shop, it can lead to legal problems for the person who ends up with the bike, and you may (or may not) have ethical problems with your shop being used this way.		# '''No Trade Period''': This is a very common approach, and when enforced it simplifies the lives of volunteers and/or employees.
