Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not having a go but just trying to find out exactly how they managed to rob you of 4k! Just incase I need to be watching out for any sligh manouvers when im out there that's all! But as I said before; $4k is alot of money and if that were me I would be either banging on their door or instructing a solicitor.
The way I see it, $4k (£2k) represents an MCC! Well whatever happens, good luck fella. Hope you manage to get it back!
