Wouldn't someone need to take me a court first before a "writ of seizure" can be issued? I was given gifts, from a romantic friend of two years, including a laptop and printer. He is unhappy with how the relationship ended and now he is threatening a "writ of seizure"... Wouldn't we have to go to court first? He is making it sound like he can just show up with a cop and take my things. He lives in Alabama and I live in Arizona and he will be in town at some point this week, I am a little scared of what will happen. I haven't been served papers of any kind or anything else for that matter, but I don't understand how he can just come to my house and take my things??? I have letters and cards of him professing his undying love and friendship so couldn't that be at least a little bit of proof in court that these were gifts from a romantic partner and not loans or anything else like that?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

Yes, it would require a court judgment to obtain a writ of seizure. He will also have to sue in your county. He cannot just show up and take the stuff, even if he has an officer with him.
