Failure to make required disposition of property valued over $500.00 is a felony. If its value is less than $500.00, it is a misdemeanor. They would have file an affidavit/sworn statement to ask that a judge issue a warrant. There is also a civil cause of action that could be filed against you under the contract that you signed.
