I'd send a return-receipt certified letter, in which you politely state you want what's yours back and threaten legal action, politely, if he doesn't contact you within X days. This way you'll have verifiable proof that you attempted to contact him and work the situation out. If he gets back to you, great. If not, it's off to small claims court. Get the sheriff's office to deliver the subpoena, since he's never around. He'll probably not show up in court, anyway. If he does you've got proof he either received or refused your letter asking for your stuff back. Either way you win by default, and the judge sends the sheriff over there with a warrant and bolt clippers to get whatever the court awards you--your car, cash, the gold brick you left in the trunk, court costs, etc. Maybe you could even get on Judge Judy. ;) On Tue, Aug 17, 2004, Mysterious J wrote: > I tried the face-to-face thing about 3 weeks ago.
