    Default Can I Sell a Loaner Machine if the Company that Lent it Has Disappeared

    My question involves personal property located in the State of: Illinois
    I sent a cash deposit for medical equipment a company claimed to have. They told me they did not have it a few days later. I asked not to cash the deposit, but they did anyway. They offered a loaner while they were looking for the correct item. I accepted the loaner, but it was broken. I asked to take back the loaner and refund the money. They have now disappeared.
    They have my deposit, I have their loaner. They do not return phone calls. I have sent certified letter asking to pick up the loaner.
    I understand I can not sell it now, but when will it be considered abandoned? Any other action I can take without going through trouble of suing them? They are in CA, I am in IL and the amount is over the small claims court amount.
    Thanks

    All of this happened how long ago? Have you been unsuccessfully calling an Illinois number, or the California headquarters? Similarly, where did you send the letter, and did somebody sign for it?

    Thank you for replying. The number and address are in CA. The letter is certified and shows delivered, so they had to have a signature. It has all started in mid April, loaner was sent in mid may
