I can't comment on whether it is haraam or not but I agree with the brother that if you feel it is a stolen item, you should take it to the police.

Some time ago, my son found an Ipod in a park. We took it to the police, they checked their database for anything that matched the item that may have been reported and found nothing, then they had us fill out some forms and off we went. They held the item for some time and then contacted us to let us know that the item had not been claimed and it was now ours if we wanted it.

[Edit: the delicate part is in dealing with it as a gift from your uncle since no-doubt he did not know it was stolen and may feel bad about it... this part is delicate.]
