== == Probably not. Moving someone else's property without their consent is a civil matter, and the estranged spouse would have to prove you did it intentionally. You could say you "didn't know" whose stuff it was and that you had no reason to know she hadn't consented. The goods were not "stolen" as you did not intend to keep them and there was no robbery as the estranged spouse wasn't present. The worst you might face is replacement of goods if they were damaged or lost and the estranged spouse could prove you were negligent.

You should consult an attorney for the best advice. However, it does not seem that you have a solid case here. Perhaps you failed to mention something on your application, a reference check came back negative, you failed a drug test, your background check didn't clear... or any other number of reasons. Most states in the U.S. are "at-will" employers - which mean they can terminate employment (or offer of employment) with or without cause at any time. You should, however, be advised as to the reason for their change in heart for an opportunity to clear up any misunderstandings. Think about it this way - if the employer is like this now, how are they going to be when you are up and working for them? Hmm. Good luck! * Yes. If you have definite proof that you had been hired by the company, preferably written correspondence of some sort.
The plumber would need to sue you in court in order to get a judgment lien in his/her favor.
If you get a notification that you are being sued you should appear on the date in the summons and plead your case.
You should ask the person who re-did the work to accompany you as a witness. If that's not possible then obtain an invoice from them that lists exactly whet they did, the new charges and that the repairs done by the first plumber were substandard and needed to be repaired. You should have evidence that the second plumber is licensed in your area. Before and after photos are great evidence if you have any. A photo of the work area can be helpful if you need to explain what was done and what the problem was.
You should also have proof of what you hired the first plumber to do (a copy of the contract) and any money you paid for that work. Keep copies of any emails between you and the plumber.
If the plumber records a mechanic's lien against your property it will have a relatively short life. The plumber must take steps to obtain a formal judgment lien. As long as you don't hear from the court that a case has been filed against you then you should just collect your evidence and keep it in a file until you receive a summons. You must appear on the date set forth for the hearing. If you don't the plumber will get a default judgment and you will have lost your opportunity to fight his claim.
