If you know who he is, you can call the police and make a report and ask that he be charged with the theft. If this happens, you can ask the court to order restitution (pay you the amount you lost. Save your receipts).

The other thing you can do is take him to small claims court. It costs a little up front but you can ask the court to include your filing fees and process server fees if you win.

I hope this helps a bit. Good Luck!
