If you worried about getting married you shouldnt get married. I seen acouple of your posts. To me this whole thing looks like a divorce in acouple of years. Dont take that the wrong way. I wish you lots luck on it! If I were you I would hold out for a year or two before getting hitched.

LOL, well actually I was wanting to get married, isn't a bad thing. Its just this is a innconvience.

I figured out the evidence though, 7th ave got a white truck on a saturday, and then the next monday when they came in it had been stripped. Well I just so happened to buy a 2 white doors and 2 white fenders from someone, and this guy says they came from his truck. His proof is, the pinstripes line up, but didn't all these trucks have those, and the doors and fenders have stailless rocker trim like half the other chevy trucks in town.

What I have to do now is prove I own the parts, they think the parts are his because they match the discription that their his, but there are no serial numbers or vins to prove it.

Now here is the kicker, I brought my truck to be sold at Fargo Salvage brokers, whick is just down the road from 7th ave salvage. They (7th ave salvage) also buy and sell a lot of cars through fargo salvage brokers, I know this because I know the owners and also have baught a few of 7th ave's cars from there. So why would I bring a vehicle with stolen parts on it to a place where the salvage yard would 100% definatly see it. Just does not make sense.

Another thing is I buy around 2-3K worth of parts from 7th ave salvage a year, they are the guy I check with first when I need something. I know most of the employees on a first name basis and they know me.

So geez, if you add it all up, nothing really makes sense.

Also people have been saying that I should have questioned the parts since I paid $500 for them. Well I think that was a reasonable price. Same parts I would have paid maybe 700-800 from 7th ave salvage. But the parts wern't perfect, fenders needed rust fixed, doors had some dents, headlights were aftermarket non-gm parts and the grill had a crack in it. Seemed reasoanble for $500. I was planning to fix the truck for myself and use it for a tow truck, so the condition didn't matter too much just as long as they looked halfway diecent. But since I have been strapped for money lately I had to sell it to pay bills and give me extra cash is I needed it.

How do they know the parts are the same ones that got stolen, one fender is the same as another isn't it?? How would they go about proving it.

More then likely that stuff was stolen so your out of luck. If a deal is to good to be true then its stolen. I hope things go your way but your dealing with the fpd.

Talked to the cop, told him all I knew, I know the guy I baught them from had a black chevy truck and went by dan or something similar and he said he wasn't from town, and I only met him because he stopped to look at a car I had for sale, when he was in the area.

I checked my phone records, not sure of the extact date he called me, but around that time within 4 days I recieved over 100 calls, almost all of them have phne numbers, few were pay phones and some unavailable. So I am not sure where to start.

EDIT: otherwise, you are screwed. Posession of stolen property is a crime, even if you had no knowledge of said property being stolen. If the price was too good to be true, well, you know why now.
