Re: stealing or claim

I'd say this is more of a "claim" case if by that you mean "civil," where you make a claim for money damages in court, probably Small Claims here. However, what has happened is likely also a crime, probably embezzlement but possibly obtaining property by false pretenses; both of these are theft crimes. You might have a hard time getting the DA's attention, but maybe it's worth filing a police report.
