Answer: A void title because stolen goods always remain stolen goods

Explanation:

The question refers to a hypothetical situation in which Hugo, a 21-year-old man, buys a gold necklace and diamond earrings for his mother´s birthday. He´s told they are new and he´s offered a really good price.

Even if Hugo did not know about it, if the jewelry was actually stolen, his mom will have a void title because stolen goods will always remain stolen goods.

There´s a fundamental common-law principle that states that an individual can´t transfer a better title than he has, as well as a buyer, can´t obtain a better title than that of the seller. This means that someone who has stolen goods, doesn´t have a title in them, and the person who buys them from the thief will also have a void title.
