Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Maryland

Repleive

I filed a repleive order to get back personal property. The judge signed the order, the sheriff and myself went ot retreive the property,but was only given a small amount. I had to post a $3,500. bond to do this because that is what the property was worth. I realize that I can get a judgement, which isn't saying much. I can attach the bank account, which I won't get much. I know the balance of my things are in that house, but the other party wouldn't let the sheriff go up to the bedroom to retreive them. My question is can a search warrant be issued. A third party has told me that my things are there for sure. I stand to lose a lot of property, at least $3000.00 worth.If there are any other options I would greatly appreciate knowing, so that I would know what my next step would be. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

Re: Repleive

If the Sheriff is armed with a writ, the Defendant must let the Sheriff in. It's as good or better than a search warrant. Sheriffs are sometimes reluctant to do this, but that's why you posted a bond.
