Ex-Girlfriend Left TV Behind, Do I Need To Return It

[Krisers]

My roommate asked his exgirlfriend to leave the apartment over 7 months ago. She took most of her property, but left a TV. She in addition took his TV. Now, her new boyfriend is harrassing us to give back her TV, but speaks of no knowledge of the one she took. She has no reciept or proof that the TV that we have is hers. Do we have to give it to her?

In Michigan no. If she moved out and took all her belonging. But left somethings behind, never returning in reasonable amount of time to retrieve those items. It is considered abanndoned property. There for you can take ownership of it. Since it was left in your possession.

This came directly from a lawyer I hired to deal with a an exgirlfriend.
