Guest thurgood Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Thank you Richard for confirming what i found out so far. It appears as if the warrant was never acted upon. What I find amazing is the complete description in the warrant. Who gave it ???? guess we'll never know. RON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
