thousands of dollars of goods online nationally. >> according to an analysis by the senate judiciary committee, there is more than $500 billion worth of stolen and counterfeit items sold online worldwide each year. in some cases, it is the online retailers tipping off investigators. this lieutenant says ebay contacted them about wednesday's fencing suspect. >> we followed up, there was no crazy undercover process to it, we followed up with what they saw, saw the same thing and took steps with working with everybody to identify who he was. reporter: what is being done to crackdown? a state senator introduced a bill that puts more responsibility on the online marketplace, tightening requirements for sellers. >> the market place has to get information like their business license, the receipt of goods, those kinds of things to prove they are the owners of these goods in a legitimate way and

they haven't been stolen. reporter: investigators say these crime rings operate on sites we all use like ebay, craigslist and amazon. what should we look out for? >> what you want to look for is if a seller is brand-new, they've never sold anything before, especially if it is an expensive purse or watch. or if it is bulk. if it is brand-new, a whole case, you have to wonder where they came up with a whole case. if it doesn't pass the smell test. >> another tip from michael, if you buy an item that is stolen, you could be subject to legal prosecution. that is unlikely, especially if you bought it unknowingly, but it is important to remember that legally it is not yours. as for the senators legislation, if it passes, it will protect consumers and retailers. it is moving to the assembly, it has passed the senate.

in fiscal year 2020, customs and border patrol seized $1.3 billion worth of counterfeits. >> you should care because you want to buy quality, if you are spending your hard earned dollars, especially now, in a challenging economic environment, you want to make sure you buy a product that lasts. reporter: jessica says she tried to return the shoes for a full refund but the website refused to return three different times. with some help from us, she received a chargeback from her credit card company. now she has a pair of what she calls free fakes. >> the arch support hurts so they are definitely not built the same. reporter: customs and border patrol tell us counterfeiters of gotten quite good at what they do. manufacturers have shared with them proprietary information to help agents identify fakes. they suggest only buying from online retailers you actually

he says it is nearly impossible to determine the distance a bullet travels. >> you've got weather conditions and wind and there are a lot of determining factors. those are variables to determine how far away the round was fired from. i think it is extremely problematic. reporter: could it then as close at -- could it have been as close as the parking lot? >> that's possible. reporter: police said they would get back to me. albert says he heard from someone from the a's shortly after the fourth but it wasn't what he wanted to hear. >> extended his condolences and offered tickets to an a's game and he would sit us in a suite for that one game and biased food for that game. offended is the word i would use peer -- i would use. reporter: albert says his son never wants to go to a game again. >> there needs to be some remedy offered to him. this isn't about me or his mom, it's about the six people that
