in new york state you can go to your local town, village, or city court and ask the clerk for civil paperwork and file a smail claims case against the person that haas your property. after you fill out the paperwork and turn it into the court they will set a court date when you and the other party will appear in front of a judge and state your case and the judge will sign a court order with his decision of whether or not the other party is to pay you for the property or give it back or find that the other party is the owner of the property. you will need to bring any proof that the property is your such as receipts or bill of sale ect ect... there is normal a small fee usually under $100.00 to file the paperwork and get your case in front of a judge. im not sure what the procedure would be in other states but im sure its similar to new york state.

While it is not harassment to seek the return of property that is legitimately yours, continuing to call someone that refuses to return the property is not going to resolve the issue.If this person refuses to return the property, you should file suit in civil court for the return of the property. (Small claims court may apply, depending on the property and the jurisdiction.)Additional: Also, under the criminal statutes of your jurisdiction, and depending on the "property" being claimed, you may also have grounds to report them to law eenforcement for a criminal offense 'wrongfully converting property belonging to another to their own use,' (or similar wording).CAUTION: Do NOT expect law enforcement to become embroiled in any civil dispute over items personal property.

When someone loses your electronic device do you have the right to tell him he has to pay for it even if you dont use it?

If someone borrows your property, they are legally responsible to return it to you in the same condition. This is referenced in the legal principle of bailments. If they lose or damage the property, they are responsible for the value of the property to you. If the person refuses, you could file a small claims case against them for return of the market value. However, you should be prepared to prove that the item was loaned, not gifted in order to prevail.
