Yeah, there is plenty of documentation to back up this case. I would talk with an attorney ask if they could pursue the case on a no risk to you basis.. I forget what that is called but, basically, you don't pay the bill. The defendant pays when he loses. An attorney will do this if he has an excellent chance of winning. And, you do! These people are praying on the fact that you cannot afford an attorney and don't have the support system in their part of town. If you shake that up a bit, they have nothing left. They are even stupid enough to offer the horse back to you for an outrageous profit and spill about asking 3 times if the horse is stolen. That tells me that uncle if all too familiar w/ his nephew and knew the horse was probably stolen.
