What is the name of your state? New Jersey
An ex girlfriend recently moved out of my apartment taking a box of my brother's personal belongings. I am going to assume that it was unintentional for the time being.
The belongings in the box are of no monetary value, but hold deep sentimental value for my brother. He phoned my ex girlfriend and attempted to get his box returned to him. She replied that she would not return the box until I payed money that was owed to her.
The money that she feels is owed to her, is money that I had been giving to her to help her with her finances before we broke up. For some reason, she still feels entitled to receiving money from me.
My question is, is what she is doing illegal?
From what I know, she has no right to withhold property and is currently using it as blackmail to get money which she feels she is entitled to.
If what she is doing is illegal, what can I do to get my brother's property returned to him and what sort of proof would help in a case of this nature?
I appreciate any advice/responses. Thanks in advance.
