stolen camaro found out of state

[combackcamaro]

y'all bare with me new this computer stuff.

Jan 2012, my 1973 Z28 Camaro stolen off my property. 2 wks ago got call from Detective. Someone appied for a title out of state. already had tag & insurance on it for a year. (Even though police report made.)So he is informed of car being stolen. Told to make contact with police here where report was made.(REALLY!?) Detective ask me to call man whom has my car, see if we can work out some kinda agreement. That he had invested alot of $ into restoring. When he purchased no transmission, gas tank, fuel lines, steering wheel, drive shaft, gear shift, dashboard, rear end,& list goes on. Hum sounds me like the theift made some big bucks! I told detective I just want my car back. he said for me make contact with their local PD give them info etc. SO I DID .. then I was told this morning..The man whom purchased my stolen Camaro has civil rights & will retain car until PD speaks with DA, find out what to do. REALLY??!! When was law changed about having stolen property even after having knowlege of it? or even a civil right is over the Law? What about my rights, my loss, I was the first victim here.. This afternoon get a email from mans lawyer. They want me pay them $13,500 to recover his investment. What!!! If you have any info to help me PLEASE share. I do not have $13,500 to buy my own stolen car back.
