Quick gist: I went into an auto shop to get a routine oil change. I had an expensive piece of jewelry (value over $1,000) stolen from my vehicle afterwards.
Now, the issue is that I did not immediately catch this as they left the box in the glove compartment and only took the jewelry. There is no surveillance video so I understand this will only be a matter of hearsay.
I have already filed a police report but they have not caught anyone nor have they found my jewelry. Just to already put it out there- there is absolutely no way no one else has access to my vehicle at any other time. These people were the only ones who had access. Also, I would have not gone through the trouble of filing a false police report if I was not 100% sure of this crime being committed.
Can I open a civil lawsuit against the business? And also, how much money can I ask for? Also, if you could please detail a bit of the process and how/what I need to do and under what category. I have never had to sue anyone before in my life.
TRULY truly truly appreciate it!
