Stolen Goods

Any canister that you collect using your ship's cargo scoop in space is considered stolen. If you have not personally purchased the goods from a market and it's in your cargo hold then they are deemed as stolen property, because they initially belonged to someone else.

Carrying stolen goods can be a dangerous pastime. Authorities, and other players, will often scan your cargo to see if you are carrying any stolen goods. If you are cargo scanned while carrying stolen goods you will incur a bounty!
