charges were filed against my husband for theft by the police officers. my mother, which is the victim wants the case dismissed due to the fact she wore the jewelry numerous times after the officers claimed he so called pawned the jewelry. my mother as been trying to get a hold of the officers to explain this however they are avoiding her. i heard that in some cases if the victim refuses to testify the case can be dropped. Is this possible even if the victim did not sign the charges?

my husband is a mechanic and at our home worked on a guys truck. it required some parts that the truck owner did not supply us with. we purchased them and agreed that he would repay the amount for parts plus labor fees. we do have a paper with both my husband’s and the truck owner’s signature. the work has been done for over a month and the vehicle is returned. we have not seen a dime for repayment. at this point we are willing to forget the labor costs and just want the money for the parts we are out. since he has parts that we paid for in his truck can we call authorities for theft? i still have receipts and the document

I had a person staying with me. They were addicted to alcohol and drugs and they were in rehab. They stole jewelry and family photographs and alot of posessions of mine. My sister is suppose to provide me with the receipts and pictures of these gifts. She has not come through on giving me the information — she says she doesnt have the receipts or a picture and doesnt know the store she bought these gifts. What do I do? I am in process of trying to go to small claims court.

This occurred in Indianapolis, Indiana:
I had been communicating with my landlord that I would be moving. I had been there for five years and he communicated to me that I would need to be out by February. My landlord then obtained all of my possessions without notification. Then sold them stating that I abandoned the house.
The house was not abandoned in any way. My wife and I have a house that we live in. Then I still had the rental that I was trying to move the contents and had been communicating to him I was having trouble getting everything moved Due to the weather/truck issues.
In January I had to leave town. My wife was taking care of the house while I was away. My wife went there on the 7th of January to wait on the people we hired to move the contents and everything was fine. Due to heavy snowstorm the move was unable to be completed. When she went there on 22nd of the month everything was gone. I went by the house on the first of February and was devastated. My question would be what are my options on otaining restitution and what the time limit in which we would need to file this in court? Also is this criminal and due I need to file a police report?

Hello, i have a question about employee theft. I live in Millersville, Maryland and the event took place at GameStop in Hanover, Maryland. I was caught adding extra money to gift cards while doing a return for a friend. I know that i will have a court date but i do not know anything about law. What should i have prepared? Should i be expecting jail time? It was for under $250 over a 6 month period. The cop that handled my report said that it is all up to the judge but as a cop, he could not give any advice. Should i represent myself? I will be pleading guilty but what’s the best way to go about this?

I live in Corvallis, OR, and I lent my $500 camera lens to a friend to let him try it out. It has been 3 months, he refuses to answer my phone calls, and told me in person that I will never get it back. I have a receipt from the camera store with a serial number. Is there any way I can get my lens back?

I moved from California to Georgia and place 90% of my house hold goods in to 20×30foot storage units. Both of my units were double locked the the owners/reps. However my units never went to auction because I paid the balance due prior to auction sale. I was told the workers open the gates and take pictures. I did not have access to my units when they were pass due for a period of apprx. 6 months, but when I paid everything current and went to the unit i discovered 1/3 of my personal belongings had been removed from each of my units. I took pictures of what my units looked liked and took pictures after some one clearly went into the unit and removed items. I did not have acce4s to the units only the owner/his reps. I was told it was probably the maintenance man who took m stuff. I condensed my property to one 20×30 unit and eventually to a 15×20. I was told by the manager that I had very good high quality property in my unit. The point is I had items removed from my unit when i had no access to the unit and did not have access to the gate entry. THe only person who had a key and or access were employees of the storage unit because they cut my lock off. They took pictures and i took pictures to show the damaged and broken items. the pictures also show how boxes were stacked before the theft and how there no longer existed after the theft discovery.
Do I have recourse and can i file a theft by taking charge in small claims court. They told me they did not have cameras on the units only to discover that they do and did have cameras at the time of the theft. They are they are the only people who had access to the units.

I was also visible to several units where they were storing property that belonged to others and was told if i had anything I did not want i could store in their community property unity.

My old landlord claims that I stole a futon when I moved out. I doubt that the item is his to begin with, because it was the only item in the flat when I first moved in, and probably belonged to the previous tenant. He claims its worth $200, but I found futons in similar conditions for $50. What should I do?
