Title 21 O.S. Section 1713 makes it a crime to conceal or receive property of "any value whatsoever" If that property has been stolen or embezzeled. This creates strange results. For instance 2 individuals enter a store. One steals a candy bar as they leave the one who stole the candy bar gives it to the other person swho accepts it knowing that it has been stolen. The thief is guilty of a misdemeanor. The person who accepted it is guilty of a felony. Just as with grand larceny there should be a dollar amount before concealing stolen property becomes a felony.There should be misdemenaor concealing stolen property and felony concealing stolen property depending on the dollar amount.
