[QUOTE="FJohnny, post: 16164103, member: 191643"] A couple of thoughts about this: Sometimes a simple letter can get amazing results. Send it by registered mail because having to sign for it freaks people out and makes them pay attention. You are writing to inform the church that despite repeated attempts you have been unsuccessful in resolving the loss of your boat. Your only recourse at this point is to go to the police about the trespass on your property and the theft of your boat. You will also be pursuing damages for the loss of the boat in civil court. This letter is being sent as a courtesy prior to taking action to allow the church to present their side. You look forward to hearing from the church in hopes of resolving the matter. With the prospect of police involvement and possible court costs, embarrassment, etc many people will become suddenly much more ready to discuss and negotiate. OR Make an appointment with the minister. Take a brochure/ad with price of a similar boat (the expensive one) to the church. Explain the whole situation to the parson. If he can't get your boat back perhaps you can talk to him about getting an official tax receipt (assuming it's a legit church) for the value of the boat showing it as a donation from you to the church. The vicar is out nothing and you at least get something back in the form of a tax credit for your generous gift to the church. Sure sounds like your sister borrowed the boat from you and then the church borrowed it from her. She may be the only real culprit here. [/QUOTE]
