That sucks! I wouldn't be paying it either. Good luck!

I'd try to get them as much possible info on the real owner to assist
their tracking him down since he's probably still around there. Plus
politely but firmly make it clear that getting anything out of you is
going to a long hard row.

Have you called the Chester Police? I'm guessing a call, and sending any
documentation you might have, might be enough to make this go away.
Believe it or not, I have found putting a counter in front of a bureaucrat
makes them stupid, but they tend to retain their sense of justice. If a
call isn't enough, someone on the other end of the line, should be able to
give you the 35 steps needed to make it go away.

You can bet that if there was a fresh corpse in the boat... they would have
found him by now.

resting in YOUR boat ;-)

This is an interesting thread, and I hope Clams will help us informed
with the final disposition of this legal issue. I am sure most of us
have sold something legally and not even gave it much thought once the
vehicle/boat and payment exchanged until problem like this reared its
ugly head.
