A robber broke into our garage yesterday at 6AM, found my dad's wallet, looked through my mom's car, completely messed up all her work documents and stole her checkbook and other valuables.
Cops showed up at our house later in the morning, returning a few of my dad's credit cards from his wallet and his ID, but we're still missing a few credit cards and my mom's checkbook. The guy had apparently already got gas (on a stolen car from elsewhere) and bought himself McDonald's.
My question is: What are my rights? Why don't we get to see who this guy is, and why don't we get to sue him for the rest of our things? He already got caught using the credit card, he's probably on the cameras at McDonald's anyway, there's proof.
I realize he probably doesn't have much anyway. But for the trouble he's causing us what can we do? Shouldn't we be able to sue him in civil court as well?
Thanks in advance for your help.
