They had a guy in jail, but without a confession they have no proof. I can't get them to fingerprint the machine or even call me back for that matter. No idea if the guy is still in jail.
Jail a creative judge would just sentence him to provide "one more decoration" for your recently recovered ATV (Image removed from quote.) Huh?

The problem is that he was arrested for something else
I dont get that. Even if they cant prove the theft, they still have POSSESSION OF STOLEN PROPERTY, valued greater than $1000.00, which is a felony in Wyoming. That is assuming he was with the machine when they contacted him. I would be shocked if Montana wasn't the same. Wenger is right except you dont need an attorney to do it. Call the Chief of Police and chat with him about your concerns and frustrations. The prosecutor has nothing to do with it at this stage of the game. Until he gets a filed case, he would not even know what you are talking about.
If the guy is being charged with another crime, the prosecutor would love to have another charge to pursue.
Well if fingerprinting might give them that little piece they need, but they won't even try it. then it tends to give the appearance that maybe there's some apathy, initiative and/or priorities problemsMay or may not be the actual case, but appearances/perceptions will go a long ways in these type of situations.
There is no way I would argue with your point Desperado because you are 100% correct.
If they decide not pursue angles such as finger printing, how the ATV got where it did etc, then they close doors that might be opened to other crimes and other criminals. There were certainly others involved and who know what else will be uncovered?
