Buying Goods Suspected to be Stolen

Question
I bought goods from street vendors with the intention of helping them, as their condition indicates need. After the purchase, I began to suspect that they were stolen. Is my purchase valid?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: Purchasing from them is valid as long as there is no certainty that they have stolen the purchased item, and God knows best.
