Can I sue someone for losing my laptop?

Yeah, but why don’t YOU call her? Stop waiting for him to muster up the balls to take action and take care of things yourself. I’m sure it will be much less hassle. Hell, gimme the number and I’ll call.

Sounds like you have a decent enough case – when you entrust someone with your possessions, they are responsible for their safe return, after all – but why not call the ex-girlfriend? I’m sure she has no interest in keeping your laptop.

Or perhaps hes lying and its really not there and he sold it or broke it or lost it. You have enough of a case to take him to small claims court. You can also call the cops yourself and get them involved. They would then escort you or him to th ehouse to retrieve the laptop. If his ex did something to destroy the laptop then you can go after him. her or both of them.

This is what I told him that he should call her and ask for it back, but he says that she doesn’t want him near the house and that she’ll call the cops on him…I even told him to call the cops himself so they can escort him and he refuses…I don’t see any other way around it I’ve tried to be civil
