The conduct specifically proscribed in subsection (d), often termed ‘receiving stolen property’, is not a separate offense in Illinois. It is included within subsection (a), which describes as an offender, ‘A person [who] knowingly: (a) Obtains or exerts unauthorized control over property of the owner.’ ” 44 Ill. 2d 562, 576 , 256 N.E.2d 770, 778 .”
