A: Hi. Two things. First, you should never provide identifying information about yourself on an online forum like this. Frankly, if possible, I'd suggest that you take this post down and, if you still want someone to respond to your issues more specifically than I will, repost it without your name. As far as whether you can go forward with any restitution, I would doubt it but the best idea might be to talk to someone in the District Attorney's Office since that the office in which the department that handles restitution claims is usually based.
