I met this guy when I just elocated to Ames, Iowa and I started leasing this car. I made a small payment beca;use that was all I had. I spoke things over with him and let him know what was going on and he said fine. I havent talked with him in a while and the other day he just came and took the car with out saying anything. I tried to contact the police but they wont help. The funnny thing is, he never acted like this bfore my husband came here! My husbands tools are in the car and he was suppose to bring them back, but he has not called or come by what should I do?

Report the tools as stolen and take the guy to small claims court. You say you were leasing the car, but did you have any paper work? If not then you were borrowing the car and he just took his property back. so the police don't want to get involved in a civil matter.
Report the tools as stolen, so you have a police report then file in small claims court.

If you are behind in your lease payments, then the owner has every right to repossess the car, which is why the police arent helping you. In certain cases, he may be able to keep the tools and sell them to reimburse him for his loss. Best get a hold of this guy right away, and beg to come get the tools

Well, welcome to America. My family had a similar experience. And I did what I could about it. But I was taken aside and given a little reality check. The police in America are stretched to thin to worry about your or my little problem. They are busy doing paperwork to prove that are doing something.
I think we need another tax cut. The Government is just to big. Police should fund themselves the old fashion way, with payoff money and bribes.
Elect Mr. Republican again America particularly if you like broken down police departments and streets without any smooth surfaces. After all, the rich need to buy another home over seas.

I would go the Sheriff, But it is allways good to at least call the person and discuss it. You can attempt to have an understanding, once that is no longer an option, then its court time for everyone.

Get a 2nd job, stop living above your means and pay your bills.
The man is not obligated to have a conversation with you about not living up to your financial side of the deal. He just cancelled your contract.
Simple as that.

you got had, you should of gotten a legal binding lease or at least one that was notarized with both of your signatures. Since a verbal contract isnt binding and he holds the title you are screwed. sorry
