Not really. If you pay for stolen stuff you may lose it without any claim on fraud towards the fence, and the fence is still criminalized.
The right to liberty cannot be "endangered". It either is violated or it isn't. Same for most other rights, a violation does or does not happen. I can't accidentally or recklessly violate your right to due process, privacy or redress. I either violate it or I don't.
Property can be restored. Life or limb can't, or not that easily. It makes more sense to be more stringent on endangering life than endangering property, which can after all be repaired.
Thus on property matters only if there's actual infringement or attempt to infringe criminalization would make sense.
