My house was robbed almost 1year ago, the 2 thieves were caught, and have done their time..?

Question

who do i contact about receiving my restitution? no one has contacted me in almost a year, but roughly $4000 worth of cash and belongings were stolen from me. i caught the crooks on their 3rd trip--but nothing was recovered-- aren't i entitled to restitution? i contacted the victim's advocacy, for immediate help, but that was last year as well-- what do i do, i could really use those funds now-- today as a matter of fact.

Answer 1

You can SUE the thieves. Take them to small claims court. No one will contact you about restitution.

Answer 2

yes ceeringi got it....

that's what they did to OJ....and he was found innocent in criminal court....

Jury: O.J. is liable

O.J. Simpson is liable for the 1994 death of Ronald Goldman and committed battery against his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson, a civil trial jury ruled February 4, 1997.

The Superior Court jury awarded $8.5 million in compensatory damages to the Goldman family and to Ron Goldman's biological mother.

Answer 3

Renters or home owners insurance? If the judge in the criminal trial didn't order restitution, you have to bring a civil suit against them. With a value of about $4000, this might still be small enough to be dealt with in a small claims court. I wouldn't expect to recover nearly as much as was stolen, though. That money is long gone, and they probably don't have much -- why else burglarize?

Answer 4

Take them to civil court. Your local legal aide society should be able to help.
