Quoted: If it turns up stolen inform the nice officer that you will not give them his name and that you will have the seller turn it in.
| That's called 'Impeding a police investigation' and its a Crime.

If it is a police investigation they can/will send a subpoena for the required information.
That is why you make the guy turn it in, hard to arrest you if you bring them the weapon.
The burden of proof is their's, if the only contact info you have is a phone number give them the wrong one, accidently.
Not trying to be an ass, I just don't think someone should be charged for something they don't even know about, like possession of stolen property.
If they refuse to go to the PoPo then turn their slimey asses in.
Give them one and only one chance to make things right.
Edit: remove an f up.
