Legal Question in Criminal Law in Louisiana

I posted a welding machine for sale on craigslist .a guy was interested and said
he wanted to take the machine to a welder repair pro in which we both have had
work done before and then he would pay if it worked.i agreed with the stipulation that he signs promissary note. the machine could not be loaded into the truck because it was to heavy.. so he said he would go and get a trailer.he then notice the 10ft 2.5" cable which was separate from the machine and said he would take it to the shop to have a plug put on it.it's been two weeks and each
(3) phone call, he said he would bring it back. i want to press charges but don't
know what type of theft it is. help me please

It is theft by fraud but it doesn't matter just report it to the police. If he signed promissory notes, you can also sue him civilly.
