If the lost purse had $2,000 I would have to prove that I had that amount to accuse someone of stealing it??

Unless there's video tape of them taking out the cash there's nothing that will happen.  Simply accusing someone of taking $2000 isn't going to mean anything, there has to be proof of them taking it.  Since I dobut you'll even be able to prove there was $2000 in it I seriously dobut you'll prove they took it.  Anyone could have taken it, the person who found it has no way of knowing what should be in there.  Also what type of person carries $2000 in their purse?  Only someone asking for trouble would do that type of thing.  Also don't think the store will pay for it, it was YOUR MISTAKE that caused the money to be lost (if you could even prove that you had it) and NO store or insurance policy will payout a claim simply on a statement "I had $2000 in the purse."  How rediculious do you think that statement sounds?  It makes you look more like a criminal then the person who you say stole it.

IN property law often times ACTUALLY Holding on to an object or occupying some land is often decisive.\n\nFor example: if you are walking down a street and someone snatches your purse and is then caught, YOU do not have to prove that the purse is ACTUALLY yours, that you did not steal it yesterday etc etc, before the person is convicted as a thief. All you have to show to convict that person of theft is that you were just holding on to a purse before he snatched it. \n\nSimilar reasoning dictates that if your purse is stolen and is not found within 5 years(statute of limitations) the thief basically now owns the purse, because there is no way you can prosecute him(so the thief acquired an object by actual possession although he never legally acquired it).\n\nThis doctrine also often applies to real property. If you actually LIVE on the land(but don't have a legal title, basically you are squatting) you can kick off a new trespasser without showing title. And if you live on the land long enough(usually 10 years) You will get a Title to it, and the person who had it before but did not use the land looses it(This is known as adverse possession).\n\nSo basically often(90% of time) the entitlement to property will be useless or irrelevant while ACTUAL POSSESSION will control.

Try to contact the seller. If you bought it from a business, contact the better business bureau. If you bought the item for mote than like 750 dollars, it is considered theft.

Seeing as you threw it away it would be hard to provide her a key. She can, though, require you to pay for the value of the key since it wasn't your property.

Hi Mitzi-\nI'm very familiar with PA law.  The theft is going to be based upon the amount involved.  I can almost guarantee that there will have to be restitution.  Sentencing depends on the person's past criminal history (if any), the facts of the case...if it was particularly heinous and the victims involved, etc. and the amount of cash or items taken.

Here is a tip. If you find something that normally cost 1,000 dollars for say 20 bucks in the Bahammas then its probably fake. \n\nI'm guessing if you didn't have a truckload of them, and you get a lawyer you should get off with a fine. \n\nIf can't afford a lawyer, then go to the court date, plead innocent, and plead your case with the judge, I'm guessing he'll spare you, and give you a small fine.

First off she can and will be held jointly responsible. Second she needs to talk with the bank and tell them that these checks were fraudently written. Next have her file a police report for the checks. She may want to speak with the prosecuting attorney before going to the cop shop because if she has a warrant they will arrest her and sort out the matter later.

There should be a phone number on the back of the ticket. She can call that and find out what the amount is.

nobody will sell you tickets without money up front ... they are too fluid of a commodity and proving ownership for a charge of theft would be very difficult against someone who has possession of the tickets.

Do you mean that you stole $71.00? The question was worded so poorly that I couldn't tell. \n\nAssuming that I got it correctly, it would depend on who you stole it from (since embezzlement, shoplifting and robbery all carry different penalties)and where you live. So your question is useless.

Wow!\nWell... you should get media support I think. Talk to local radio stations and even newspapers. You could auction it off online (at ebay), or maybe also ask for support from professional local agencies, considering this is an item that might be interesting to a lot of people.\nNow, what you have to be careful with, is proving that that hat actually belonged to Selena, and that you obtained it fairly. If it was a gift, this might be a little complicated. And if it was a gift by someone like Yolanda Saldivar (with a not very pleasant public record and police history), this might be a little delicate.\nI really can't tell you much more, but special agencies can help you with this. You don't want to face charges or accusatios for lying or offering a fake item, that hat may have been obtained improperly before it got to your hands. Your good action might turn into an ugly problem if you don't have everything clear!\nBe careful with this! And look for local auction houses. \n\nGood luck!

You need to get a a copy of the police report, or a copy of the complaint filed against you. \n\nIt is possible that the one committing the fraud is the person in Atlanta. If you indeed sent him the item he purchased, he may only now be saying that he received an empty envelope. In fact, he may be lying to you when he said that he filed a police report, in the hopes that you will believe him and return the money to him to avoid any problems.\n\nSo, write to this person and ask him for a copy of the police report and the complaint. Next, confirm with the police department that there is a charge of larceny and mail fraud against you.\n\nIf there is, you need to write to the police department and say that there is a big misunderstanding, that the item was lost in the mail, but that you will return the money to the buyer.\n\nThe other question is how much is the item worth? If there is indeed a charge filed against you, then yes, if you ever travel to the USA you could be arrested and incarcerated, until you appear in court for trial. If the amount isn't that great, offer to the person in Atlanta that you will return the money, after he drops the charges against you. It is a question of how much you value your peace of mind.

You didnt lose any money at all. Thats what i saw in my crystal ball. You had stuffed it in the back pocket and forgotten to remove it before putting ur pant to laundry.\n\nSince the picture of ur girlfriend was also with the money you are trying to make up this story so that she wont get mad at u for losing her picture.

If they gave you written permission (literally written and signed), then you are ok. But if there is none, I just hope this person doesn't send out an arrest warrant. Because there is no proof that you have the right to take money out.

easy, don't eat pacer leads!\n\nbut to be serious, maybe u should get the staff to sign out for the stuff they take, then if a big amount of stuff goes missing then u well call a meeting about the theft.
