Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

My friend had an verbal agreement with the owner of house to throw a party at the owners house for $100, my friend was only able to come up with $70 on the day of the party. My laptop was being used for the music, so the owner took my laptop and said they wouldn't return it until my friend payed the rest of the money. We return the money and the laptop is not returned.

If you paid them then they should return the laptop which they shouldn�t have taken in the first place. Call them and ask for laptop back. If they don't give it back tell them you will sue them in small claims court. If that doesn't work, then sue them. You would sue them for the value of your laptop plus all the software music and whatever else there is on there.

Good luck and hope that helps
