if that store reported that someone just left the store without paying for a canoe - for sure.
this is more analagous IMO (disregarding the value of the items in question) to walking down at the lake with said canoe that you just purchased. the police have no suspicion of where the canoe came from, if it was purchased legally or stolen, how long you've had the canoe, if it would be reasonable for you to have the receipts on you at that particular moment.
