Lana Dukakis, writing is substance over form. you dont need to know exact specifics like a persons soc.sec. # simply a name and an address, and as far as somthing like a grandfather clock, unless it was at a clock shop with a hundred others, simply a brief description of the item in question suffices.
as far as a lein, you can only file a lien against somthing that has a title which could be transferred between parties while the actual item itself could be held under bailment.
