I too am sorry this happened to you... they have become very good at scamming as well as printing fake checks, money orders etc that even the banks sometimes can't tell them apart until they come back bad... as hard as it may be to do so, your best bet is to always deal with cash transactions only... if they say they can't do that then say sorry and wait until someone with cash comes along... it's getting too difficult to tell a good check from a bad one so it's safer to just do business with cash. Do you have any "serial" numbers for the atv? Or even pictures of it? If so file a police report for stolen property, let them know exactly what happened and how (also let them know that these people arrived in a uhaul so they can check with the local uhaul places for rental records)... this is indeed a case of stolen property because of the way it was done... once the report is out there the list will go to pawn shops etc so that if it shows up stolen... you can get it back.
