With all of the proffering of help and suggestions, has anyone thought about whatever contract or arrangement this Katz guy had with the actual owner of the bus? Perhaps, our friend who is being bilked has some leeway with the owner of the coach in getting back her $5K. If not, perhaps as one person put it, she has a "downpayment" on a parcel/property and if this is the case, how could it be sold to anyone else? Sounds like a sort of bigamy? Or, if it is sold to someone else (or at least offered) with any sort of deposit being held for an "authorized by owner" entity, would not the actual owner have to clear any claims on the bus e.g. $5000.00 for a deposit? Hmmmmmmm
