The statute of limitations for injury to personal property in Michigan is 3 years (Mich. Comp. Laws. Ann. S600.5805). This means that in civil clams related to personal property (conversion, trespass to chattels, adverse possession of chattels, etc), you have 3 years from when the claim arose. The claim arises usually when the item was converted, damaged, taken, etc. However, concealment of an item, so that you didn't know it was gone, for example, may toll the Statute of Limitation so that some courts may not consider the statutory period to start until you either discovered the item was missing, or should have discovered it was missing by due diligence.
