If they can find it, the government will seize it, don't worry. They even double dip: they seize both the stolen goods and the money paid for them, using the forfeiture doctrine unique to the US. Then, the payer has to prove he was buying in good faith (which will be a steep hill to climb, given the usual conspiracy between buyer and seller of stolen goods) in a separate lawsuit against the government if he wants the money back.
