    Default International Theft

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Ohio

    I know this is a US only forum, and I am a US citizen but I have a tricky question.

    I live in Europe for now, and in particular, I live with a citizen of S. Africa.
    If the African happened to steal expensive ($1000-2500USD) property of mine and leave the country for his/her homeland, how would I go about reporting it? Would it be important enough for a foreign government to pursue? Would my insurance company go through the trouble of getting money from him/her?

    Again, I'm confused how to even phrase this situation, and even more so about who to ask, because the people I have asked have gotten me nowhere.

    Thanks!

    We can't help you.

    The laws of the country in which you reside would apply. Your citizenship isn't germane to the question. (Neither is that of your companion.)
