Re: Lease
You could ask the police to get involved, but it doesn't mean they will. In order for it to be a police matter, it must involve unlawful intent on the part of the other person to retain possession of the equipment.
A lawyer could help you get a "writ of replevin" in Circuit Court. That writ is served by the Sheriff who will take possession of the equipment until the lawsuit over the possession is finished.
You should see an attorney right away.
