Summary
In Wisconsin, you have the right to retrieve your property. If your ex-friend refuses, you can file a claim in Small Claims Court. If theyve damaged or sold your stuff, you can sue for the value. If your possessions are moved to different locations, the law still entitles you to your property. Proving ownership can be done through dated receipts, photographs, videos, or testimonies. Charging you for storage while denying access is generally unfair and can be addressed in your Small Claims Court case. If you cant afford a lawyer, seek help from Legal Aid Services, Pro Bono services, or law school clinics.Full Conversation
