What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia.
Someone left a few pieces of jewelry at my apartment about 6 months ago. I believe it was two rings and a bracelet or something to that effect. He didn't actually ask for them for a couple weeks, but then my phone broke. I didn't have it replaced for a number of months because of cost (I'm a college student.) This person knew where I worked and lived, obviously, so he could have just come over to get them. I have since moved apartments and the jewelry got lost somewhere along the way. I just had my phone turned back on after all this time and he called, threatening to sue for $300. Can he actually do that for lost items that he left there himself? He also left me a message saying that he saw a utility bill in my house with my full name on it and that he would "find me," and I'm beginning to feel threatened. Please help!
