YES!!!!!!!! Otherwise you'll have to sue them in Small claims court.
As a Franchise Attorney I unfortunately need to unveil a reality check. The police don't get involved in civil matters; they have more pressing needs dealing with actual criminals. You will need to sue, most likely in small claims court, then attempt to collect on the judgment. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.

you can file a police report. However, you are going to likely have to take them to small claims court.
