    Jewelry consignment
    I left some jewelry with a jewelry store for consignment, and the owner went out of business. When I finally tracked him down, he says he cannot remember what happened to the jewelry. He seems to want to be helpful, but I am not certain. What are my options if he claims he cannot find my jewelry, or that the new owner has it? Thanks!! :(

    Hello sara:

    You DO have a receipt for your jewelry, don't you? Sue him for the value in small claims court. You have no claim on the new owner. I wouldn't talk to him at all. If it IS there, let the jerk deal with the new owner.

    The question is whether you have proof that you left it with him and what value to put on it.

    Then you can take him to court for the value of your property. Of course, if you win (and you should) you then have to collect.
