Never talk to the police. Retain a lawyer to cut any deals, the police cannot ever be trusted.

Well the issue would be did you know that these were goods that were gotten illegally? I would get a receipt for these. If the original owner never got paid for these then that person has the right to them.

The police are trying to circumvent the system by not getting a search warrant and you "volunteering" to give him the pc. He has the burden to show that you should be charged and, with his "offer" he does not have it.
