Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Missouri

This sounds like one of hte scenarios from one of those TV Judge shows. Of course he can report the TV, stand and radio as stolen. But, unless he lies about the whereabouts, the Police aren't likely to do anything. If he admits that he brought the stuff to your place, he cannot honestly report that it was taken from his possession and control. He can, however, report that you refused to return it to him when he requested. The question will be whether the stuff was A gift or a loan.

Under the facts you described as to the entertainment items and the car, it sounds like you two loaned things to each other. You retrieved the car when you wanted to. He may be able to prove that he should is entitled to retrieve the entertainment items when he wants to. But, that case would most likely occur in civil court.

You did nto indicate that you ever refused to let him have those things back. If the Police show up at your door, you should probably let them take the stuff, and tell the officers that you never refused to let him have the stuff (if that is the truth). They will be very unlikely tp arrest you, once they know that he brought the items to your place. They will more likely tell him that it is a civil matter, and suggest he sue you over the items, if you claim they are a gift.

There is never enough space to provide all the relevant facts here. So, you may be able to prove that the car was a loan, but that he gave you the TV. Stand and radio, using facts not described here.

Good luck
