    Default Ex-Wife Accused Me Wrongfully and Stole from Me

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: WEST VIRGINIA

    Supposed i pawned something to the pawnshop like a game system, which completely belongs to me. but pawnshop told me that the item pawned was already picked up and paid by someone. That person who picked up doesn't have my ticket/receipt nor permission from me. and has lied to the pawnshop by stating that I stole it from somebody and that she/he was there to pick it up from the owner.

    The pawnshop owner handed it to the person. and now cannot give me my game system.

    What could be done? If i prove that i baught that game system through receipt and serial number of it, and also get a statement from the person whom who was mentioned that i stole it from.

    I know the pawnshop has the complete responsibility, But i would like to file charges to the person who took and paid my item , Im not for the money i want to teach that person for saying that i STOLE MY OWN ITEM, and at the same time for taking something that belongs to me.

    any help of what grounds i can do against this person.
    Any input will be greatly appreciated.

    Your recourse is indeed against the pawn shop.

    I see no real recourse against your ex-wife, except suing her in small claims for either the game system or the value of it (depreciated of course).

    seriously? I am somewhat aware that the pawnshop is responsible for letting her get it,
    Is there any law for someone accusing u of being a thief and taking stuff that belongs to you.
    Perhaps yeah i can sue her for a small claim to give my stuff back, which im not interested. I just want to teach her a lesson for abusing my last name since she wont quit using my last name, and the same time just like this, taking stuff that i pawned n accusing me of being a thief.

    THank you for the input..

    It's not your last name - it's hers. Forget THAT avenue, completely.

    You have recourse - if you choose not to pursue that avenue, that's your choice. Or, you can, I suppose, report a theft. Let the local authorities deal with it.

    If you believe your ex-wife committed a crime, make a police report. The police can investigate and if they find probable cause to believe that a crime was committed they can refer the matter to the prosecutor's office.
