cellioThe mishna teaches: one who steals from a thief (what has already been
stolen) need not pay double for the theft (that is, paying both the
owner and the person he stole from). Rav taught in the g'mara: this
applies only in the case where the original owner has not yet renounced
(given up on) the goods. (This means the first thief has no claim
of damage when he is stolen from.) Rabbi Sheshet, showing that
discussion in the g'mara can sometimes run toward the lively,
asserts that Rav must have been half-asleep in bed when he said
that. (67b)
(The ensuing discussion is somewhat confusing to me, so I don't know who won that argument in the end.)
