I was evicted recently, and my landlord made me disconnect my cameras and told me I had to wait until the very last day of the 30 days to go in and get my things. Now, I’ve noticed things are missing, and I know for sure they were in the house without me during those 30 days. Is that even legal? The house was locked by them with a constable present, so no one was supposed to go in. Can they just take my stuff like this?
That’s really shady. I don’t think they had the right to touch your stuff. I’d definitely talk to the police about it. Sounds like they might have stolen your stuff.

Yeah, I’m thinking about doing that. But I don’t know if the cops will do anything since I don’t have receipts for my stuff. Does that matter?

It might help if you have any proof like photos or videos, or even neighbors who saw them going in. It’s worth bringing up to the police!
I’ve been in a similar situation before, and I had to get a lawyer involved. They’ll probably be able to guide you on how to handle this. It’s definitely illegal for them to take your stuff without permission.

Yeah, I was thinking of doing that. I’ve got video of their cars, and my neighbors said they saw them going in. But I’m still worried about proving it since I don’t have receipts.
If you don’t have receipts, maybe you can get a replacement value for your stuff based on what you had. It’s worth looking into. You shouldn’t have to just let them get away with this.

That makes sense. Some of my stuff was really valuable though, like jewelry from my mom who passed away. I just want to make sure I’m doing the right thing.
I’ve heard that if you don’t have receipts, you can at least try to prove the value through other means, like friends or family who can vouch for it. It’s not impossible to make a case.

I think I can get some of my neighbors to back me up. I’m just worried it’ll take forever to sort out, you know?
Sorry you’re going through this. Honestly, I’d just try to get a lawyer or someone who knows the law to give you advice. You deserve to get your stuff back or at least compensated for it.

Thanks, that’s good advice. I’ll start looking into it. Just don’t know where to even begin with all this.
