Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Retention of personal property

A bitter ex boyfriend has taken my car and personal effects that I had stored in his grandmothers garage and sold or thrown them away. He took my car to a repair shop and authorized repairs and never picked the car up. A lien was put on the vehicle and sold.

His grandmother allowed me to store my belongings in there. How do I resolve this issue and under what category would I find this?

THANK YOU

CA ONLY: you probably have to sue the person who borrowed.

Thanks for your posting. You have the right to sue this person civilly for your out of pocket monetary losses. You also may want to consider contacting the police for filing of criminal charges against this person, and you may want to consider a restraining order if you think this type of conduct will or may continue in the future.

If you have any questions or would like my assistance, please feel free to email me or call me at 1-877-568-2977. Thanks.
