As a victim of theft myself, I would still love to have my property back.
Steve I think you should let the owner know. the law in Canada is that the
property is returned to the original owner, reimburse the insurance company
the original payout or decline and then the property belongs to the insurance
company.
Unfortunately, the new owner will have to take action against the person he
bought from.

Tough question.  I guess my vote is to tell the new owners the limited
knowledge of prior owners but also about the one comment of it being stolen.
Most cars that are stolen, eventually show up somewhere, usually with a lot of
damage to the car.   The exception is if someone stole the car with intent to
ship it out of the country.     Back in 1993, I am not sure that someone would
have valued a BJ8 enough to plan that far.
By the way, my car came from Canada and California DMV would not register the
car till they did a check with the Canadian DMV to see if the car was stolen. 
  That process only took an extra week.
