Well.. got taken.. literally. My boyfriend of 2 years stole my jewelry and pawned it at local pawn shops between here and about 30+ miles away. I asked him where the jewelry went as it was missing from 3 separate jewelry boxes that are hidden. He acted nervous and said don't file a police report yet. THAT made me even more suspicious. The jewelry belongs to my mother. I am not sure whether it is him or her that stole it. She is a known thief and has had access to my home. They of course are a couple as of this evening leaving me with all the baggage so to speak. I know I need to file a police report as does my Mother. I already spotted a few pieces in one shop here in our small town, and they set them aside for me. What recourse do I have? Can he/she be arrested for taking my belongings without my knowledge or consent??this is in California. Please advise asap as I am headed to the courthouse this am to gain a restraining order against both of them.
thanks!

and frankly was concerned that the ex was in the house and could take everything in it and possibly 2 out of 3 of the kids..
