Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

I loaned an ex-boyfriend $2000. We never had a written agreement but I do have old bank statements and a text message saying that he will pay me back. I do not know where he lives and he has changed his phone number. He works at a local bowling alley and the only time I see him is when I visit that establishment. How can I collect on this personal loan?

Sue him in small claims court. The Sheriff can serve him with the Summons at his workplace, and if you win and obtain a judgment, you can levy his wages at the bowling alley.
