A former employer took some of my personal tools from my work station and put them into the service of the company. Upon being let-go from their service my property still "pressed" into service, made it known that I wanted my property and was told that I could regain it soon.
That was in early Nov., since then I have been in touch with my former leadman, the foreman/ plant manager and the owner himself.
I have been in contact, nither threatening or harrassing and am getting nowhere accept frustrated.
I either want my stuff or compensated for it, what else can I do?

Are there other options?

Threats are worth the weight of what they are written on. File a complaint against him. Theft of property, Unjust enrichment, or anything else that your penal law applies to. It's free to file with the police or District Attorney. You could always do it your self and go to small claims court and ask for your stuff back, loss of earnings from him having your tools, court costs and the like. He will have to hire an attorney to get him out of the mess. You could also file a NOTICE OF CLAIM with the local court and send him a certified copy. That should get him off his butt, otherwise taking him to court will be fun for you. You have a good case unless there is some underlying circumstance you didn't mention. Good Luck buddy.

It's not a tax lien--that's only for the IRS and the state tax department. If your tools are worth less than the small claims court jurisdictional amount, you can sue to get them back in small claims without a lawyer. If they are worth more than that amount, you will have to hire a lawyer. Your state may be on the wikipedia list linked below.

Why not contact your state attorney general and speak to someone? Surely they will know who to speak to about the problem. Someone there may be able to help you. Good luck.
Here is a link that may help you in your quest to file a tax lien.

Please look into filing a property lien.
