I don't know where to turn and nobody has written me back or I can't even get a hold of them by phone.

My husband had been arrested for mortgage fraud in Riverside County and was in jail in Banning. The Palm Springs Police had seized his bank account ($137K) and I tried to use our collateral to raise some bail but did not know how to do this. An inmate in Banning jail befriended himself with my husband. He was to be released about 2 weeks later and he promised my husband to help me bail raise money to bail him out. This person, Leon, called me after his release and even visited my husband in Banning jail. He visited me and asked what kind of collateral I had. At the time I owned a Jeep Wrangler, my husband owned a F-250 Lariat and my husband owned a house in Palm Desert with about $150K equity. Leon told me that he would be able to raise the money for bail and contacted a bail agent by name Angel in the 951 area code. I have also talked to Angel and everything was supposed to be set. On July 16, Leon came by and told me he wanted to bring my Jeep for detailing. My Jeep and my husbands F-250 had been stored at my residency because I did not have the money to register them or get insurance. Leon was aware of this. He brought back the Jeep about 2 hours later and the Jeep had a 30-day temp in the rear window with expiration 8/31/2009. Leon told me that he had a friend at the DMV in Banning and this friend would do him favors. One morning when I woke up, my husbands F-250 was missing with a trailer attached. I called the Desert Hot Springs Police department and they ran the license plate 7W83363. They informed me that I could not file a police report because some "Monique Flaherty" was the registered owner of the F-250. This Monique is Leon's wife. We had bought the F-250 at Star Ford in Glendale and still owed $2550.00 to Ford Motors.
Then in August I had a problem with a tire on the Jeep Wrangler. I drove it down to Joe's Tire Store a quarter mile form my residency. As I was making a right turn into the drive way, a lady hit me from the back. My vehicle was pushed, span around and landed on the side walk. The police came and made reports. Both vehicles were declared a total loss. When this lady's insurance company tried to issue me a check for the damages they ran a DMV print-out. I was informed that some "Monique Flaherty" was the registered owner of my Jeep and that she had taken out a loan from 1-800-Loan-Mart in Encino, CA. I have written to them but they have not responded. The registration on my Jeep is to expire on 7-16-2010.
There is definetely some fraud involved at the DMV in Banning. This DMV officer at the same time, on 7/16/2009 issued me a 30-day temporary registration expiring on 8/31/2009, and issued to Monique Flaherty a one year's registration, also transferred title the same day. The DMV in CA wants to see my pink slip but my pink slip is missing out of my file. I never signed anything or gave anybody permission to sell my or my husband's truck. This friend of Leon's must be quite a criminal. I have his signature on my temporary operating permit for the Jeep for the month of August 2009.
After being aware of the illegal transfer of our vehicles, I ran a property profile on my husbands house in Palm Desert. Believe it or not, this home is now in Leon Flaherty's name and was quit claimed to him. The deed was recorded in the County of Riverside. I saw the Quitclaim Deed and the signature on it looks perfect. I don't know how this was done.
Leon has a court case in the Superior Court of Riverside and I just wrote his DA a certified letter informing him about all these fraudulent transfers. I had called this DA before and left messages but never received a return call.
Leon had stopped answering my phone calls in about August 2009. I was aware of a court date he had in Riverside and I left a message that I would be there on this date to confront him. That night I had 2 slashed tires.
I like to file a complaint against the DMV in Banning for their negligence and their professional misconduct. I am being told that the DMV offices were privately owned but the Government is overseeing the paperwork.

Could you please advise me how to go about filing a suit or complaint? In the mean time I am technically in possession of a stolen Jeep, I can't drive it or insure it, I can't cash the check the insurance company issued me for the damages, our F-250 is not in our name anymore and Leon is driving it. The F-250 had a hitch in the bed so we could pull our 5-th wheel. Now I have to hire somebody to do this. I can't even get to work. I have contacted just about every agency I could think of and nobody is willing to help me.

Please, Please direct me in the right direction. I am just about ready to loose my mind.

I am looking forward to your response.

Sincerely
