I'm sorry to hear about your issue, man. People can be really sneaky. I certainly hope you were able to alleviate the matter.

I had a car "sold to me" a few years back. Upon receiving the car, I placed vehicle wraps on it and fixed it up to make it aesthetically pleasing. Unfortunately, a few weeks later (after I paid for the car), I was informed that it was stolen and I had to pay to actually restore it back to its old style. It was insane.
