want to file a police report on a friends friend

[kitty8199]

Should I tell my friend to try to fix it first?
I went to consign a bunch of things at a consignment shop, that I later learned was owned by a friend of a friend.
One day out of the blue, the store closed. The owner said to leave a facebook message if you wanted your things back.
Well, I did and the next day the fb page was gone, the website was down, the phone disconnected and the store gutted.
Well, I still want my shit back.
I want to file theft charges. Should I tell my friend to tell her friend to give it to me or I will, or just do it?

I would just file the report...... gather as much info as you can ....

Agreed. Your friend doesn't need to be put in that position, (as the go between)

Ok. I'm sure with having to get business licenses the county can find the person.

I just wouldn't want my friend to get mad bc I did it and say well I could've talked to her.

Leave your friend out of it. She really has nothing to do with it, don't drag her into it.

You should just file. It doesnt matter if it is a friend of a friend. It was a business that didnt uphold its contracts. The longer you wait to file, the harder it will be to have something done.

[kitty8199]

Ok. Going tomorrow to file.

I'm sure I'm not the only one. The store was full, and there were big ticket items, too.
