A crime requires mens rea, so no, a person is not guilty of a crime for receiving stolen property if they don't know that it is stolen.

Although, the rightful owner can take back that stolen property from the purchaser and the guy who bought it is out the money and would need to try to recover damages from the person they bought it from.
