My residence was broken into a while back and a old peddle car and some cash was stolen.I got a tip that it was at an antique store for sale.I dug a little deeper and found out who had sold it to them with no surprise.I contacted my local police and told them to no revail,telling me that these people had bought the item in good faith of it not being stoled (25 for a 900 item)Ya right,and unless I had proof it was mine then I was out of luck.Antiques are hard to get back unless you write your name across them,period.If you bought the item in good faith and he cant describe it with pictures or someway else,and you paid market value,then he is going to have a hell of a time getting it back.If it was my familys,then I would pay anything for it if I wanted it enough badly and stop bothering you.My 2 cents!
