However, my son was in a major car accident and 2 months went by, my husband went to get the boat and he would not return it or let us see it. My husband did not know what to do ??? NEITHER did I. then we went to to shop several times and they were stauling for time. A few months went by and I reported it to the police. I tried to report it stolen and I was told it was sold off as a lien. The lien is a fraud what can I do???
