If you want the property back, you have to see an attorney. The resulting lawsuit would be one in civil court for an injunction ordering the room mate to return the property. The best (least expensive) way is to take the room mate to small clams court for the value of the property. Attorneys are not allowed in small claims, and the process is easy for everyone (think Judge Judy or The Peoples Court on TV). A link to small claims court information is provided below.
