Hi! My lawnmower was stolen right out of my garage a week ago, and I have seen it sitting in a neighbor's garage. I walked by after I came home from work today and took a closer look (they were dumb enough to leave the mower right in plain sight with the garage door open) and i know for sure that it is my mower. I filed a police report last week, and when I called the police again to let them know where my mower was, they interviewed the "neighbors" in question and they said that the mower was theirs, and even came up with some things that were not even true about the mower. The officer just took their word for it, and didn't even have them start the mower in front of him, as they told him that they had to unplug the spark plug wire to stop the engine. needless to say, I am not happy with the officer's investigative work, and want to know if I can do anything legally. Unfortunately, I don't have the paperwork or the serial number, but neither do they (although they probably have taken it down by now) but I do have the grass catcher that only fits that model. I know that it is mine because there were things missing on the mower and the same things were missing in the exact same place on the mower in the neighbor's garage.
Any advice on what recourse is available would be great! (I will take it to small claims court if I have to just to prove a point)
Thanks.
