($1,000.00) or more that has been stolen, embezzled, obtained by
false pretense or robbery, knowing or having reasonable cause to
believe the same to have been stolen, embezzled, obtained by false
pretense, or robbery, or who conceals, withholds, or aids in

any property which has been stolen, embezzled, obtained by false

circumstances as should cause such person to make reasonable inquiry

received had the legal right to sell or deliver it shall be presumed
to have bought or received such property knowing it to have been so
stolen or wrongfully obtained. This presumption may, however, be
rebutted by proof.
