That sounds awesome! Good luck with everything. I've been reading this thread and it is just about the most ridiculous thing I've heard that you have to go through all this to get back YOUR property in the first place. Why do criminals so often seem to have more rights than victims? Absolutely ridiculous.
SO very glad to read the update. Wish I was closer, I'd love to go help, too. They wouldn't know what to do if all of us showed up to back you up. Hide in the house, probably.
Can't wait to hear that he's back safe and sound and these bozos are getting what's coming to them!
