I really hope this works out for you Rick and you get your belongings back and the culprits get what they deserve! I have no mercy for thieves.
Four years ago, my Yamaha T9.9 was stolen off my boat in the middle of the night. It took a long time but my home owners insurance helped out replacing it with a new one. A few months ago, I was on Facebooks Marketplace and an ad appeared for a Yamaha T9.9 for cheap. Right away I recognized it as my old one as I had made some custom parts for it and had used current model decals after painting it the year before. The sellers name was right there and on his page he had photos of his truck and boat with license numbers visible. His postal code was also present so Google told me which road he lived on. Perfect case, right? No. I took the case file down to the local RCMP detachment but they wouldn’t or couldn’t do much as he lived out of their jurisdiction. The ad was also on a closed buy and sell page and by the time they were admitted in, the motor was long gone. I think if this ever happens again, I’ll forget the Queens Cowboys and deal with it myself.
