My Duster was stolen

Because the detective in Johnston County who knows where the car is has told me I am responsible to pay this guy who purchased the car over 2 yrs of storage fees. I do not agree with this and have questioned the detective as to WHY?? I have to pay storage fees on a vehicle that was STOLEN from me. He will not give me the name of the person who has the Duster and has said that If I do not fly to NC and meet with him and arrange to get the car then he was going to pull the title off the stolen car registry in NC and let the guy keep the car. I am out of work with a rotator cuff tear and cannot afford to fly to NC nor pay this guy who knows how much to try to get my car back. So he has painted me into a corner.

Some friends of ours purchased a 79 Z-28 Camaro back in the 80's... they had it for a little bit, then it got confiscated after it was discovered that it was stolen before they bought it... They lost their $4500 that they paid for it...

If anyone tries to buy a stolen car and gets caught, they are out the money that they paid for it... That's why you have to be careful and make sure it has a good clean title before purchasing it... Maybe take the VIN number to the police or DMV and have it checked before purchasing...
