I purchased a 5th wheel RV, paid for it, then recieved the title. Moved my stuff into it, made a verbal contract to store on property for 2 months while I went out of state to work. Upon return they had destroyed the roof windows and allowed water inside that created damage and mold. Illegal entered and searched through my documents and belongings, stole the key, and uploaded personal things onto my facebook to friends and family while demanding 15x the original agreed amount. Physically blocked tow truck guy from reposessing the rv, and now says they consider it abandoned and intent to sell for parts. Total value of RV is 5,000.
I've tried to talk to attorneys but there doesn't seem to be enough money involved for them to be interested. They recommended I take it to the Special Civil part. This makes sense for recieving compensation for my losses
but isn't the act of physically blocking me access from my property also theft, and the uploading of documents while demanding money - extortion/blackmail?
They have sent 100's of text messages and voicemails that have been saved for evidence.
Should I be searching for a criminal attorney instead?
