I OWN A MOTOR HOME. THAT WAS COMPLETELY REMODELED AND OFF GRID I ADVERTISED IT TO SELL . I HAD AN INTERESTED PARTY WHO SAID THEY WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE IT UPON PASSING AN INSPECTION AND ASKED IF I WOULD BRING IT TO A LOCAL RV SHOP. THE APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED AND PAID FOR BY THE "POTENTIAL BUYER " THE RV WAS DROPPED OFF AT 9:30AM ON MAY 13, 2017 PICK UP TIME WAS SCHEDULED FOR 12 NOON AT 1145AM I CALLED TO SEE IF IT WAS READY ,AT THAT TIME I WAS INFORMED THAT THE SHOP OWNER GAVE THE KEYS TO THE "POTENTIAL BUYER " AND THE RV WAS NO LONGER IN HIS POSSESSION. THE RESPONSIBLE PARTY THEN CHANGED HIS STORY AND SAID IT WAS STOLEN. WHEN QUESTIONED IF A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED HE SAID NO. THE MOTOR HOME WAS MISSING FOR TWO HOURS BEFORE THE POLICE WERE NOTIFIED, ONCE REPORTED THE SHOP OWNER SAID HE LEFT THE KEYS IN THE RV AND WAS STOLEN. IT HAS SINCE BEEN RECOVERED AND IT HAS A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE. MY DAUGHTER WAS LIVING IN IT, EVERTHING SHE OWNED IS GONE.( HER CLOTHES, PURSES,SHOES, JEWLRY,ELECTRONICS,FAMILY HEIRLOOMS AND MEMORABILIA. ) IN ADDITION TO EVERTHING SHE HAS LOST , HE ALSO TOOK ALL OF HER PERSONAL AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION ,HER IDENTITY HAS BEEN COMPROMISED. THE SHOP OWNER SAID HE DOES NOT CARRY LIABILITY INSURANCE. THE MOTOR HOME WAS LEFT IN THE POSSESSION OF THIS SHOP AND HE WAS RESPONSIBLE TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF IT. WE ARE LOOKING FOR LEGAL ADVICE TO SUE FOR RESTITUTION .
