<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2135161, member: 66&quot;]Key phrase &quot;IF the coins were stolen&quot;.&nbsp; I&#039;m sorry we don&#039;t KNOW if they were stolen, and there was no legal decision at the time of the seizure that they coins had been stolen.&nbsp; Your initial sentence is flawed.&nbsp; A more accurate analogy would be a neighborhood kid is found in possession of a car.&nbsp; I claim the car is mine but I have no title or registration for it.&nbsp; Are you saying that until it can be researched and proved whether or not the car actually belongs to me the kid has no interest in the car?&nbsp; I say he does have an interest until it can be proven he doesn&#039;t</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>But filing the suit under CAFRA required a response from the government within 90 days or the coins had to be returned and the matter dropped.&nbsp; The government didn&#039;t respond so the appeals court says the coins should have been (and must be ) returned, there should have been no court case so there is no decision that the coins were stolen.&nbsp; The government couldn&#039;t have proven that they were stolen and that CAFRA didn&#039;t apply before the 90 day deadline, so they needed to file the forfeiture proceedings so they could continue holding the coins while they developed their case.&nbsp; But they didn&#039;t so under CAFRA they lost.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
