STOP! Call your local Police and ask for a Detective and tell them about it. Please. Over the phone they have the time to listen to you. And they enjoy these types of queries. Wouldn't you?. The Detectives are ordinary people and will listen and give an opinion of what they think about it. It couldn't hurt. They would like to see you get a good deal. They would also like to see that you don't get scammed. You best friend in any situation is that non emergency number. There are lady dispatchers, detectives and guys with guns to protect you. You can tell those lady dispatchers anything and it is just between you and them... I had a robbery. I said " my drawers were open". They said I should leave that out.
