I gave my desk top computer to a friend 7 weeks ago to fix. He's an information technology professional and at times works on the side on his friends computers. I've e-mailed, called, etc.. and no response. I've even resorted to having other friends call him and simply ask for some kind of update. At this point I just want the computer back fixed or not fixed. I'm still getting no response from him. What can I do at this point? I'm wondering if at this point, since I've requested the item back, and he has not complied, can you now assume this is "theft"? At this point he has the computer without my permission.
