Here is the situation, I have a small buisiness in Socal. I remodel kitchens and have a small warehouse in downtown san bernardino. Well I purchased a small 2 wheel utility trailer on craigslist for a little over $500 to haul away trash and what not from demolished kitchens. I always lieave it outside of my warehouse because it usually has trash and I didn't think anyone would bother to steel it. Well sure enough one day I came back for it and it was gone. Right away I reported it stolen. I pretty much took it as a loss because I didn't here anything for over 2 months. About a month ago
I had a letter in the mail from sdpd saying they had recovered the utility trailer. I thought great right. Well I called right away and they told me that for towing it and storing it it would cost $600 and I would have to go pick it up in San Diego which is almost 3 hours away from me in traffic. I decided it wasn't worth it being that the trip w/ my truck would cost me like 120 in gas, 600 and countless more in time. I told them that and they said it would go to auction to pay for those charges. I thought ok oh well at least someone else will benefit. Today I received a letter from them saying that I owe $3000 and that if I don't pay I would be sent to collections. I can't afford $3000 and I can't afford to have this damage my credit as I am in the process of buying a house. I really need help! What can I do Im being robbed like crazy its like I'm being punished for getting robbed! What a beautiful justice system we have, criminals steal from me and then authorities steal even more! How sweet!
