What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? IL
I have a situation, I was living in illinois about 2 yrs ago. We decided to move to texas and could not fit all our stuff the 1st time around, and instead of taking another trip my gf asked her mom is she can get your bro's to take out the stuff. She told them to get my stuff and a few things of hers and throw out the rest. Well the items that mine were a big tv and a surround sound theatre. Well i said if they can do that for us they can use the items until we go get them. 4 month later we took a visit and asked where my stuff was and the brother that owned the house the items were at said in his room so we asked if we can take the surround stuff and he said we had to give him more notice time. About a yr ago we moved back to illinois and about 2 months ago i started asking about our stuff. The bro hasnt returned any of my calls and texts. ive called him and text him every week. The last few days ive been hearing from my gf family that he said he was staying with the stuff for storage fees in which i had no idea he was gonna charge us. I read i can take him to a small claims court and my gf/ his sister and his step father are willing stand by me and say those are our stuff. Do i have a case? and what else can i do to try to get my things back? cops? any feedback would be helpful
