My Duster was stolen
Don’t give up, take it one step at a time. You may find a helpful ear higher up, and may be able to supply you with the solution. I undersrand the legal ramifications of this, once you file a stolen car report, it must go through channels to be removed from the system with a conclusion. Follow the directions and maybe you will be able to negotiate a storage settlement that you can handle. The bottom line here is be patient and diligent, if it’s in the cards the car will be yours again. If it doesn’t happen, you must come to terms with that, and your memories with your wife, and look to her for guidance. She will answer you, and your heart can live in peace with that. Prayers as always, Geof
