Have so many looted items really been sold online after the riots in France? Here's what we know

Following riots in France, reports emerged of stolen goods being sold online, particularly on platforms like Vinted. However, the actual number of such listings remains unclear, as many have been removed. Vinted has taken steps to block searches related to the riots and claims to have intensified monitoring of suspicious ads. Some images circulating on social media, purportedly showing stolen items, have been found to be old or unrelated to the events. Additionally, claims of street vendors selling luxury items at low prices have been debunked as they originate from unrelated footage in Spain. Overall, while there may be some stolen goods for sale, the extent and authenticity of these listings are uncertain.
