Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pennsylvania

Urgent!!!!

On Feb 17, 2004 I stold a gun and a vehicle from my brother's house they did call the cops and reported it on feb 20, 2004 I turned myself in and I went to jail for 2 yrs i had asked them to give me the rest of my jail time me taking the car and gun so i could just finish it out and nothing was ever done. On feb 21 2007 i had to go to the district justice for a harrasment hearing which was dropped but they seen that i had this other charge and there had been a warrant out for my arrest from 2004 I had told them i was in state prison at that time that i had just got out in March of 2006 the cop signed the warrant paper and the district judge gave me ROR and is now telling me that this could be brought up again but they had to call the victims first. The victim is my brother and his grlfriend it was there stuff that i took and they didn't want nothing done cause they never heard anything stateing to pursue it. Now they said that they want to drop the charges for this since it was three yrs ago. If they drop the charges can the state pick this up and still take this further. ? I am so confused on how i can take care of this from three yrs ago. it happened in 2004 and it is now 2007. Thankyou for your time.

Re: Urgent!!!!

I am not following you. I understand that you were convicted of stealing the gun and the car. Did you sever your full sentence or were you paroled? Are you on probation?
