Legal Question in Criminal Law in Indiana
My fianc� and I recently fell into some financial troubles. In order to pay our upcoming bills, I pawned/sold a few items. Some of these items belonged to my fianc�, and he filed a police report thinking our house had been broken into. After explaining the situation to him, he talked to the officer and cancelled the police report, but now comes the issue of getting back the items if possible. I'm just wondering, if some of the items have already been sold by the shop, if I contact the officer that knows the situation, can I still be charged by the DA for larceny/theft, and if not, will they still be able to help at all since the report was cancelled? My fianc� doesn't want any charges filed against me, and I have the money to get everything, just looking for some guidance.

If the items have been sold, you are out of luck unless charges are filed against you for stealing the items. If your fianc�e has OK'd, after the fact, the pawning of the items, there is no right to have them returned.
