Q: I had an oral contract with the contractor who did some work on my house. In exchange for a roof and the $5000 balance
I owed, he was to get my $15,000 RV. He took the RV and now I can't get a hold of him. I also found he didn't do most of the work he was paid for. Can I get a warrant out for him for theft of my RV?
A:
Call the police and report the RV stolen.
The police may tell you that this is a civil matter and they will not help you. If the police tell you this is a civil matter, file an action in replevin.
