What is the name of your state? Connecticut
In 10-2003 my garage was broken into and damage done. I called the police and a report was filed. I later found out that it was my nephew and his friend did it. In a silly attempt to just get my stuff back, I agreed to him returning the items still in his possession and him paying me for the damage he caused. Unfortunately, he has not paid for any of the damage (approx. $8000). The police cannot do anything b/c we entered into an "agreement". I was told that it is now a civil matter.
I am going to sue him. My question is what should I sue on, his not paying me as agreed or base it on the damage he caused? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
