Q: My Ex's grandmother passed, he asked me to move into the house said he didn't want $, then came and stole and now evict
I dropped off a 20' u-haul of my belongings and went back to clean last home for a few days. He came with friends to steal from me and let his friends come back to stealing more. On my way back said he changed his mind, so I told him that he'd have to help me pack everything back out or pay for some of the moving fees. Arriving back at home, found valuables gone plus more. He told me it must have been squatters. Continuously he'd stop by with his friends, and steal more. Even when I was home. I changed locks, he shut off water and electric, I got them both on but the water company shut the water off again because he is the owner. He admits to stealing it all now but keeps blowing me off about returning or replacing things so i'll leave like asked. It's been a year now and the whole time he has been banging on door at any hour, sending threatening text messages, and harassing me. While I was away he taped a summons to evict on the door and the 5 days passed before I returned and saw it.
