Re: Loan
If these miscreants are still within the confines of the Commonwealth, then you should approach the general district court having jurisdiction over these kinds of matters(meaning where the property is located) and inform one of the clerks therein that you wish to file what's called a WARRANT IN DETINUE for the return of your rightful property, or, in the event that such property cannot be "rightfully" returned, a judgment against the wrongful distrainer of such property for its FMV (fair market value).
Good luck to you, Sir, in this legal endeavor,(for somehow I sense that the feminine gender is not involved in this matter.)
