My father fell ill and asked that I cover for him and fix up a rental condo of his in Falls Church, VA. I got a contractor through a friend who was supposed to put new carpeting down, along with new linoleum tiles in the kitchen. He put the carpeting down okay, but put handprints all around the newly painted white walls. In addition, he stole the linoleum tiles I bought and put down cheap plastic kitchen flooring. He also took all the knobs and heating elements off of my stove and stole all my tools I had left behind. I don't live near VA, so I had left all these things there, including my receipts for the materials. He changed his phone number, but I still have an address for him, and as far as I know, he's probably still there. Do I have any recourse against this guy?
