Re: Looking for thief

If you a reasonable basis for a belief tht your stolen personal property is on the real property of another, you may report this to the police. If you are covered under insurance for teh loss, than report it to your insurance company. They will have the search made.

If you do not get anyone to retrieve your property, you may sue the other property owner, in civil court, for the return of your property, or its value.

If you merely suspect that your property is on someone elses land, than I do not know of an honest way to get authorities to search for you.

That is the best answer i can give you without further information.

Good Luck
