I don´t know the laws in the USA, but in Germany you are not able to get
ownership of stolen goods, good faith or not (without good faith they
even might prosecute you as dealer of stolen goods).
But if you have an sales receipt, the one claiming your lens as stolen
good, needs to proof that he is the rightful owner and I doubt that
knowing the number would be enough.
BTW. I doubt that that kind of fraud is very common or how do you think
second hand camera shops could survive if the serial# fraud would work,
everybody can read the serial# of the goods for sale.
