What is the name of your state? New York
In a nut shell...
I've lived in my current residence since 2002. Periodically leaving for weeks or months at a time.
My sister moved in around November of 2007
I left February 2008, I returned June 2008
I return home to find my locks changed and most of my possessions gone
My sister who lives upstairs in a seperate home. This a two family ranch house.
My sister has changed my locks and claimed to have kept and sold some of my things. She said that I left for more than 3 months "abandoning " my home and by NY State law it is up for grabs. I never heard of that law. Plus I do not have to answer to her. She is not the landlord or owner.
My Father owns the building My living arrangement is with him not my sister
My Father informed the police that I still live there and the police leave me alone
I have too much to do since I have returned home. I need to change my locks and want to file a burglary against my sister but the police will not get involved. What do I do now?
