What is the name of your state? California
I recently had my wallet stolen from my car. The woman went on a major shopping spree, but luckily they caught her. Unfortunately, they released her on her own recognizance and she failed to appear in court to announce her plea. (There were video tapes showing her writing the checks and using the credit cards.) Anyway, I have had to take about 3 days off work and have spent countless evenings closing and reopening accounts, many trips to the bank to straighten out fraudulent charges. Many phone calls and written letters to companies demanding that I pay for the bad check that "I" wrote. My question is, can I take her to small claims court for all of this? Lost wages, lost time, lost checks, etc. I know she wouldn't show up and even if she did, she wouldn't pay, but it really irks me that she has gotten away with this and I'd like to know what I can do.
thank you!
