Only clean in the sence that you will not be punished for the theft. You still have to give the stolent good back to the real owner, without refund of your costs, unless you can find the person who sold it to you and demand a refund from him/her.

But having a signed transfer of ownership document doesn't avoid that. If it's found to be stolen property, the recipient will still lose it, and his recourse is still only with the party that provided it.
