Entrusting to a merchant who deals in goods of that kind gives him power to transfer all rights to a buyer in the ordinary course of business. The entrusting provision protects the innocent buyer, who buys goods ONLY of the type normally sold by that merchant, not knowing that they belong to someone else.

When a party has breached, the risk of loss generally lies with that party.
