If the current owner can be found on social media I would comment there as well. Come after him from every free source available to you. Then keep refreshing the information to keep it current in everyone's mind.
I did, it has worked on 2 of 3 sites, the butt chewing I got on pelican parts, tho, was quite discouraging. I can only say so much, as it is going probably going to a civil matter no matter how I or anyone else sees it. So Im plugging away, I know the chain of custody, up to the current owner. I have contacted him, but that didnt go well, for all the reasons you could imagine, the guy that stole it lies better than I can tell the truth. I have attempted to locate the original seller, but havent seen him since 1990, it was last titled in Wa State in 1975, sold to me in New England. So ...
Its time to line up witnesses, and blow some money, it is at this point a matter of right and wrong. There is procedure for these things to take place legally, but none of that was done, also there can only be one authentic bill of sale, and I posses it, the rest are forgeries, and my handwriting is impossible to forge, and they have nothing to "copy". The lag in reporting it is the easiest thing to explain, and is a point many are hung up on. I started to move home/shop approx 1 of 2013, moving ( from Mass to Florida, one load at a time, by myself).. shop equipment, and house hold goods, which goes first? Ask my wife, what goes second, ask my wife ( I was moving alone, approx. 3 weeks round trip if you have no trouble. Winter + New England = lots of driving. After my second run south, in the middle of it all. I return North for another load to take South and thats when I noticed it missing, the best I can give them is approximately a 3 week window, as I am not positive it wasnt missing from the yard, the first time I came back up, It wasnt until I was actually going to load the car it I am certain it was missing. So after processing what had happened, shock, denial what ever, I tried to figure out the next thing to do so I called the cops, in April 2013. On top of that the, Police added insult to injury as I couldnt tell them "exactly" when it was stolen, they would not take the police report. So according to some, I have said to much already, especially my attorney, which I dont fully understand
as the truth is supposed to "set you free". Thanks for the advice, and kind thoughts, Jay Putnam
