Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Ohio

the disappearing property during my move

I hired a moving company to move my property(my possessions), from one apartment to another in a city to city move.This company did not give to me a receipt showing the total cost of the move.I did however pay the company for this move.After waiting 1 hour and 20 minutes at my new apartment building, the driver of the company finally showed up and moved my things into my new apartment.After going through my phonograph records, I find that some records were taken, A class ring was taken and my TV SET damaged.Can I still file a police report and sue the moving company because of the stolen articles?All this happened in October 1998!
