[Paddlewise] Trying to get back stolen kayak...

As a last resort, if the prior mentioned suggestions do not work...and they
very well may work...one letter from an attorney to each party may well
solve the problem.

It is clear the boat was never owned by the other two, and you have very
good evidence that it did (does) belong to you.  This should be a slam dunk
situation...if either of the two have any integrity at all, or value their
reputations.
