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.


I've talked to the Chester police... what they want is to stick someone
BESIDES Chester with the bill for towing, storage, and disposal of the boat.
What they want is MONEY, something I'm not willing to be extorted out of.
