I'd start by telling them your lawyer will be contacting them since making threats is free (as long as you are willing to back them up). Then get a lawyer to call or write. You may even be able to file a stolen property report directly with the police about it, but I would talk to an attorney before doing anything like that. I'd also remember that you will continue having to deal with these people on an ongoing basis so any action should be thought out before you commit to it. -Cameron Dana wrote: > My daughter started public school in January and got her cell phone > taken away last week for texting in class.
