A: It sounds like you might be able to hold someone responsible. You should sit down with an attorney to discuss possible options.
Yelena Gurevich agrees with this answer
A:
Need more.
You can always sue. The issue is will you win and if so will the Defendant be able to pay.
Contact a lawyer and discuss getting police, DMV and Consumer Affairs involved.
You may have to name both as defendants… and if damages are under $10,000 sue in small claims.
However, I would bet they would want to settle.
