How do I get the restitution that a criminal has to pay for jewelry he stole from me?

Answer 1

The court should order the criminal to pay the restitution to the clerk of court, and the clerk should write you a check.

Also, see if there's a "victim's restitution fund". If so, you may be able to collect all of your money upfront, and the criminal can pay that fund back later.

Answer 2

Good Luck on getting that. The Justice system and enforcers are just as corrupt as the criminals.
First off, they've got to get $$ from the criminals. But that rarely happens:
1. some never stay out of jail long enough to repay the debt for fines that they owe, must less the restitution.
2. once the fines are paid, if at all, they say they don't usually pursue restitution (personally I think they keep that for themselves).

I've heard of people saying they've collected. Though I've never seen that actually happen.

Answer 3

When you say "has to pay", does that mean that you have gone to criminal court, and part of the criminal's sentence is restitution to you?
If he was ordered to pay restitution by the court and hasn't, then you should call the court and tell them that you haven't received it yet. They have remedies they can use against him/her (like putting him/her in jail). If you have a civil judgment (like in small claims court) then you need to have a lien taken against the criminal's property (you can ask in small claims court how to do this).

Answer 4

Put a lean on his property - house, car or business. He can't sell it unless the lean is settled, but you must renew the lean on an annual basis.

Answer 5

Sue him in civil court.

Answer 6

go back to court

Answer 7

SUE HIS PUNK ***
