Siezed Cargo Craft Trailer
We are part of religious southern gospel quartet from the Dalas Texas area. We sing for churches and revivals in the state of texas, arkansas, oklahoma. In August of 2001 we purchased a Cargo Craft Trailer from a Car Dealership here in Dallas to transport or sound equipment and cd’s and tracts. We paid cash for it and have a bill of sale from the dealership. On October 28 of this year, we were traveling in New Brunsfels, Tx going to a church in Kirby to sing for a reival and a Comal County Sheriff stopped us and seized out trailer saying that it had been reported stolen. We have had this trailer for 5 and 1/2 years and paid for it when we bought it. Can they do that? Now they tell us we have to attend a hearing in New Brusnfel Tx next Thursday and proove it is ours and maybe they might give it back to us. If this trailer was by some chance reported stolen before we bought it, it had to be have been over 5 years ago, we are non profit organization and need our trailer. Can you advise what we need to do?
