Good evening on a rainy night in the Sunshine State.
So, my son (the one in the Army), broke up with girlfriend two weeks ago, (long story).
They lived together for about a year and a half at her parents house. When he went into the Army, I tried to get him to store his stuff here, but he felt it would be just fine at his girlfriends house.
After they broke up, he called me and asked me to ride over there and get his stuff which includes, clothes, "X" box, his "strong box" which contains all his banking and financial information, (check books, bank books, SSI information, etc.). I told him I would.
I called their house and left a message, (I was polite and respectful). No response. I called again a few days later. No response. I had my wife "text" a message to the former girlfriend, the Mom and the Dad. No response. I drove over there and knocked on the door, no response, (yes, they were home).
This evening, I had my wife repeat the process, phone calls to everyone as well as text messages to everyone. No response.
According to my wife, she can tell if they have received and read the text messages which she says they have. We have not threated them or been rude in any way but have made a point at being polite and mature about this entire matter.
Now I'm wondering what I can do to get my son's stuff back. Can the police do anything? Should I consult a lawyer?
If it was simply the clothes and the "toys," I'd just walk away. But them having his personal and financial information concerns me.
Any ideas on what I can do to make this happen?
Thanks for any guidance.
