It would be the very unusual case that any law enforcement agency or prosecutor would pursue. Most likely, they would not give you the time of day. It is a civil issue. If it is worth it, file a suit for the value of the property in small claims (unless the value is worth more than $15,000).

Contrary to what Scott says, it is not a civil matter. The company could seek an arrest warrant for theft by conversion.
