Yes, you can file what's called a Warrant in Detinue in your
local general district court for the return of your
personal property, or, if it cannot be returned for whatever reason, request
that a judgment be entered against the wrongful withholder(defendant)
for its fair market value.
The clerk's office will have the paperwork that you need to fill out to
file your case.
