People who buy cheap stuff from men in pubs usually prefer *not* to
know for certain that the stuff is stolen. They are interested only
in getting something they want at a bargain price. They probably
*suspect* that it has a dubious history, but so long as they can deny
knowing for sure will escape prosecurtion.
Once they have it in their house or car, the chance of it being
discovered is practically zero no matter what it's been marked with.

Presumably you simply give a receipt to the person who buys it so that
if ownership is ever disputed he can prove that he acquired it
legitimately from the person who marked it.
