Not all people who have been stolen from believe that they have lost the
right and title to what has been stolen and in many cases they have not.
I do not excuse Bitcoin that it is impossible to have any individual
Bitcoin identified but also I do not care, if I receive Bitcoin honestly
I do not care what their history was. What if they were taken from a
brothel? It is not a matter for an ordinal to determine if a satoshi is
fungible. It is truth in effect that each satoshi is newly created to
the new UTXO and the old satoshi destroyed. -DA.

I think it's unlikely that this would come to pass. A previous owner
of an ordinal wouldn't have any particular reason to expect that they
should own it after they transfer it. Similar to how noting a dollar
bill's serial number doesn't give you a claim to it after you spend
it. From the BIP:
Since any ordinal can be sent to any address at any time,
ordinals that are transferred, even those with some public history,
should be considered to be fungible with other satoshis with no such
history. [1]
