Delivering Stolen goods as legit mission reward?

So I was cruising in one of the low security systems, spotted an Unknown Signal and ended up scooping 4 canisters filled with Grain.
I could not sell it in the same system, so I jumped to a nearby Medium security system and docket at first station. Loo and behold there is a mission that requires me to deliver 3 Grain.
But I can't deliver good as the deliver button is red and no matter how many times I click it, nothing happens.
Why?
 
As Yari said. You can't sell stolen goods to a legit market. You need to take them to the fence (black market) and get half the value.

There will be some missions that clearly state that the cargo must be stolen. That is what you are looking for, i think...the icon for such missions will have a skull in it.

EDIT: No, there is no convincing a market to turn a blind eye to stolen goods. However, I think you should be able to, if you have high enough rep with the faction owning the station. Perhaps in a future release.

Did they require stolen goods delivery?

Please make a ticket and report that bug if they did.

If they didn't, well... you can sell all to closest black market, at half price. Or travel to any anarchy system and try your luck: maybe they will need stolen grain delivery.

Btw, word STOLEN sucks. Not every canister is stolen. It just might have no papers, like invoices, or any declarations of origin... And... If it's food, who guarantees if it's good for use, or not poisoned? There really must be huge food shortages in anarchy systems, I'm just saying.

I think stolen here is to mean that the purchaser ID on the canisters does not match the ID on your ship hence making any subsequent transaction unlawful.
