help with boat that was sold illegally

I'm in GA and bought a boat from someone who got it from someone else. It came from and is currently still registered in FL, where the someone else supposedly got it from "his brother". The person I got it from gave me a notorized bill of sale, but the someone else he got it from didn't give him anything, never has had the title and never has registered the boat. In GA in order to register a boat from a state where a title is required, a person must get the title and registration info of the last person who registered it. I've been in touch with the someone else a number The Florida Crime Information center. "Stolen License/Boat Decals Search" http://pas.fdle.state.fl.us/pas/item...eDecalSearch.a "Stolen Boats Search" http://pas.fdle.state.fl.us/pas/item...ayBoatSearch.a of times, but they (his woman is the only one who has responded) keep blowing me off and won't tell me how to get in touch with "the brother". To me it seems that they took the boat across state lines and then sold it illegally, which also seems that it should have a penalty of a minimum fine and possibly jail time, up to a maximum fine and maximum jail time, but I haven't been able to find out what the penalty is. Might it even be a federal offense? I've mentioned that if they continue to refuse to tell me how to contact the person who still has title and registration, that I'll report the illegal sale to the DNR and also to the police if it comes down to that, but they apparently don't believe any authorities would do anything or they would rather face the authorities than tell me how to get in touch with "the brother". Before I actually do contact the DNR, FL DMV, and possibly the police about the illegal sale, does anyone have any suggestions about a better way of getting this mess straightened out? |
