Is it considered steeling when someone takes back something they gave you?
My nephew gave me a patio table and chair set that HIS father gave him... The table and chairs could not fit on his deck of his apartment that he was renting from me. He gave me the set and I accepted with great appreciation, I had the set in my yard for 2yrs where I entertained lots of company. Now that my nephew has moved he went in my yard when I was on vacation and took the set back. When I came home and discovered this I called him, and he said "I never gave it to you and It's my fathers and he has the reciepts." He claims he was just being nice and letting me use it.. I had a falling out with his father before this, so I feel it was taken on spite. Is this considered stealing and do I have a chance of recovering the property in small claims court?
