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.

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.

What am I as a holder of someones personal property to do if the sheriff's department refuses to escort a person I have a peace order against onto our property to retrieve belongings?

On the other hand, if you really want to return the property, call him and drop it off somewhere for him to pick up.
