Someone stole something, what should I do about it?

I had my iPod stole from me a few weeks back. I'm thinking on how to handle the situation. I gave my iPod to an acquaintance of mine and I'm not sure what he did with it. One time, he says he lost it and it fell into the wrong hands and in another time, he tells me that he has it with him and he will give it to me. I don't know if I should get guys to beat him up or confront his parents or get the police invloved. Even if the police is involved, won't they ask for evidence. Most of our talks was usually through one-on-one so i'm not sure if the police can help. I also had my iPod on Find my iPhone but i accidentally removed the device from Find my iPhone. So please help a brother out here!

Confronting his parents is the best option

Don't get someone to beat him up, two wrongs don't make a right.
You should probably try to get his parents involved, since they have been around him longer than you have. His parents can talk to him about it

Confront him. If he doesn't give it back, tell his parents. That's stealing, and it's illegal. Don't let him do that to you!

  • Stole something and i don't know what todo. What do I do? I was in my friends house and I have kleptomania and her phone was In her back pack so I took it. I brought it home and panicked because I was afraid she would use find my iPhone to find it so I turned it off. It turned into a huge thing and now I don't know how to give it back. I can't put it back in the back or the house because they completed checked it head to toe. How do I get ride of it? Or give it back? Please don't hate on me I have a disease.

When I met the guy who wanted to buy it he just snatched the phone and threw counterfeit money at me. I filed a police report and the officer pretty much told me he couldn t do anything. I found the guys Facebook who stole my phone. What can I do? Can I sue him? I tried reporting it to the detective but they re not doing anything.
