Re: Pressing charges

You need to contact the police department that investigated the crime and the district attorney's office to get an update on the case. Since nothing has happened in two years, it is likely the district attorney's office declined to file charges, but you need to find out why. As time passes, it becomes much less likely that charges will be filed.

You may also have a civil case against the people who vandalized your home, but the statute of limitations for such an action is running, if it has not already expired. I recommend you immediately contact an attorney who specializes in civil litigation in order to preserve your claim.
