I live in Va. I left my ex (we were not married) in 2012. He stayed in the home we built together (bank loan was in my name only) & it was foreclosed on in Dec 2014 but he continues to live there & will until the bank kicks him out i guess. I didn't take much when i left because i was going to be renting a room from friends & wasn't sure for how long so didn't have much room for anything & didn't want to pay for a storage unit indefinitely. I recently moved into my own place and he agreed to let me come get some things because he's planning to vacate the house soon & isn't planning to keep it all. I got some stuff a few weeks ago. I wanted a unique shelving unit we bought years ago at a flea market but he said he was taking it i couldn't have it. He also said he planned to be out of there by March 31 (i'm not sure if the bank gave him that deadline or what) & after that i could come & get whatever was left. So i did that yesterday. He wasn't home but it didn't look as though he had completely moved yet. I took some small things & also the shelving unit. When he saw that i had taken it he texted me & said that i stole it & he had filed a report. I am told i could be arrested for this. If so how does that work? I am very mobile at work always going from client to client. Would they find me at work & do it in front of a client? Also would he have a case at all? He has no proof of ownership of it such as a receipt. Thanks for any advice i am happy to answer any questions.
