My question involves personal property located in the State of: Illinois
Good Afternoon,
I am the owner of a tattoo shop that has been there for years. I took over the business Feb 1st of this year. The previous owner(John) came to retrieve his property in January of 2015. One of my employees (which was also his former employee) was there when John removed his items. My employee was told, by John, to sell the items that were left behind. He also told the landlord that the next tenant can pick thru what was left or dispose of it. I have kept a few of the items and thrown away several things. I did this after Feb 1st when I took over the business. He has not tried to come get any of the other items since he left them that day in January, but now wants them. Simply put, he is upset because I did not buy the business from him and was still able to start-up on my own. Now he is threatening to come and remove these items and sue me. I want to know if he has any legal ground? Or should I just should give the items back? (I am presently using the couches and display cases for my lobby area and inventory)
