Back at the beginning of March, my house flooded and I hired a contractor to repair the damage. The work was going to take several weeks, so I gave him the house key and let him come and go as he pleased. He finished up in about a month and I signed an agreement saying the work was good and that was it.
Now it is three months later. I have spent the weekend looking for 3 pieces of electronic equipment I know I had, and all I come up with is empty boxes. I am not blaming the contractor, but someone he had in the house had to have taken it. No one has been in my house since then. I live alone and I work long hours and I am rarely home. The things I am missing are not things I used very often (obviously!) but total about $500 in value. I know where they were stored, and they are missing.
Should I even bother calling the contractor? I don't see how I can prove anything, and at this late date would I even have a case against his company?
