For the final time, the boat (Rosewood) belongs to me free and clear and I do not want to put any one in jail that may be an innocent victim in this whole sham, which is what could happen... Even though I am advised different by legal and law enforcement, I will give it a bit more time before I lose my good nature...
Forth coming enough, if not call me...any time...LTL

There is a provision in the law that addresses stolen property. If the present possessor obtained it innocently but wrongly then he can cooperate with law enforcement to see the wrong doers brought to justice. Receiving stolen property knowingly is also a crime.

Re: 54 Foot Hunter Rosewodd

Is the perpetrator of the alleged fraud a friend or family member that you are trying to spare ugly consequences? Fraudulent papers come in many forms, was a notary involved? I think is time you hire a private investigator. He can check for you any registration at States level and find out if any insurance has been taken out against that hull #. Marinas in the US will likely require proof of insurance. I see the boat is still registerd in your name with the USCG so whoever purchased the boat seemingly did not perform due diligence in veryfying for liens and title. I could understand that for a $5,000 boat but not for a 54' boat. Something does not add up. The longer you delay taking action the lesser the chances of locating the boat. As opposed to law enforcement a private investigator will dedicate more time and effort to locating the boat and will respond to you and it will be your choice wether you take it to law enforcement or not.

That is good but remember that possession is nine tenths of the law. Someone may need to be arrested to make recovering your boat possible.

Re: 54 Foot Hunter Rosewodd

Larry....It does seem like someone has deprived you of your civil liberties. There is definitely a civil side to this as well as a criminal side. That being said, the civil side only has teeth if you know who did it and where they are. The criminal side has teeth to where if you know who did it, it is a felony, a warrant will be obtained and they will be arrested.

The longer you waffle on this the harder it is to reclaim what is yours and it also makes it so that reclaiming your total boat may be harder. Someone could strip it and part it out and there is a ton of other variables there.

I understand your approach to be nice, but you may have to get the criminal stuff underway. Some places do have time limits on when you can get warrants. Also, MOST criminal justice agencies will wonder why you haven't reported the item as stolen once it has come up missing. Often they put a lot less effort in locating stolen property that has been gone for a long time because the trail is cold.

Just a thought.

Re: 54 Foot Hunter Rosewodd

Larry, Try to remember that friendship or kinship doesn't extent to theft. That is when it becomes all business. Or else you just walk away.

Re: 54 Foot Hunter Rosewodd

Yeah, as long as we're just guessing at the circumstances anyway... i

If you agree to "sell" your boat to your no brother good in law on the "payment plan" and he forgets to make payments... he's still your brother in law and you don't have him thrown in jail if you want to maintain peace on the homefront...

This recurring post has become quite tedious.

Sounds to me like the ex got more than the house and other valuables. Satisfaction has put a smile on many faces. Maybe it's not on the surface anymore? Have you considered Davy Jones' locker? Never underestimate the power of a woman. Hell hath no fury like a scorned woman.
Ask yourself this. How many times (if ever) has the ex asked me about my boat? Gloating? Knowing you are going through hell. Just a thought. Twisting the proverbial knife..

Keep it up,

I think it is time to remove this entire post from the site. This is BS and there is something going on that no one on this site should be reported to an authority. Does anyone smell FRAUD?

How about a summary for those of us who read the post
