Re: My tenant stole my stuff! by Land and Lorder (ME) on August 9, 2012 @21:27

                              
My goodness.... so I did as suggested and asked around about what moving truck was used and found out from the nosy guy across the street and a few doors down (first person I went to, he'd know if his neighbor farts at night) that it was a professional moving company (I won't say which one, but a major US company).

I called this company and gave them my address and after some sweet talk, the lady sang about where the truck was going, where it is in transit, etc. It is going to CA as the tenant stated. I had a crazy thought and asked if she had any way to see if there were appliances on this truck. She obviously couldn't tell, but said she would look into it and get back to me.

About 2 hours later, I get a call back. The moving company indeed did put the appliances on the truck, saying they were instructed to. They have attempted to get a hold of the tenant as well, but also to no avail. She said they will work with law enforcement to make sure I get my appliances back within 2 weeks. This also explains why the area was so clean as a part of the package the tenant had was for cleaning services as well.

So, long story short... mystery solved. I'm sure more crazyness will ensue from this situation. I'll update as I can.

Pass on this information to the police officer/precinct you filed your report with and have them contact the police department within the town they are moving to.

    The moving company is in communication with the police who are handling it.

      Unfortunately with a value of only a couple thousand dollars, they aren't exactly moving heaven and earth to get this taken care of. At this point, the word from the moving company that the appliances will be delivered and set up at no charge within 2 weeks is good enough for me. I can show the unit with pictures of the appliances if potential tenants want to see it that badly in the next couple weeks.

EXCELLENT detective work! Good for you for knowing your resources (the best one of ALL being the nosy neighbor).

You came here as a student, but left as the teacher. ;)
