The following excerpt is from People v. Dufour, C071431 (Cal. App. 2014):
The elements of the crime of receiving stolen property are (1) the property was obtained by theft; (2) the defendant knew the property was so obtained; and (3) the property was received, concealed, or withheld by the defendant or the defendant aided in receiving, concealing, or withholding it. (People v. Grant (2003) 113 Cal.App.4th 579, 596.) Possession of stolen property may be actual or constructive and need not be exclusive. However, the defendant must have acquired a measure of control or dominion over the property. (Ibid.)
