If I loaned a camper to a relative...and divorced out of that family and they?

took the camper to another state without permission. Can I just go get my camper? Is there something against the law?

Update:

What if the person is living in it?

    You will need your proof of ownership like a title copy from the DMV registration. Then see if a car dealer can give you info on how to repo it. Check in with the local police so they know you are not a jacker the car dealer may know a repo company that can get it for a fee.the camper is personal property and not realestate so you don't need an eviction notice to get someone to leave. Get a plate/tags for it so it can go down the road. Maybe some tail lights incase they don't work.

    First I would ask them to return it. If they refuse, get your documents that you own the camper, go to where it is and take an officer with you and retrieve your camper. It is not against the law to get what is yours.

    It's still your camper... the law is on your side as long as you have a title (proof it is yours). On the down side you are also responsible for it... so if it is involved in an accident, you could be held liable, if it is on a site you may have to pay the fees and you could be getting parking tickets soon. I would get it back real quick.

    You do not need a reason to go get what is yours, have the local law on stand by if you expect problems, your title is your prof of ownership.

    Always keep Mark 12:29-31 in mind with dealing with anyone!

    I would give them a written notice first. I don't know what sort of relationship you have but I am getting the feeling it is not good. So, you do want to protect yourself legally by giving them a notice and putting it in writing. With that said, you might want to call them first. Sigh...life get complicated, doesn't it?

    If you get a lawyer involved, it may not help much. They complicate everything.

    it is your camper and you have every right to it. they had no right taking it out of state without telling you

    Legally it is your property and it doesn't matter if they are living in it - it is your property and if they no longer have your permission to have your property in their possession then you are legally in the right to repossess it.

    I would contact their local police however, have them take it for you. Ensure you have the proper receipts, etc proving you have ownership.

    It's still your property.

    I'm guessing you have the title and the registration so there really shouldn't be any legal questions.

    it is yours. go get it.

    edit - makes no difference if they are living in it. it is your property.
