Sellers took AC Unit

[Whitney Tutt]

Hello. The sellers of a property I recently purchased took the AC unit with them after we closed. I couldn't get into the attic without a step ladder but when I return I'll check to see if they took the furnace too. Very disappointing. They were not happy with having to pay for repairs, lower the sales price and up their seller contributions so all fingers point to them. The backyard is completely fenced in and the gate has a latch that locks it into place. There are absolutely no signs of forced entry and the latch is down on the gate which locks it. My realtor reached out to theirs over the weekend and never received a response. I am going to file a police report when I return (I live in another state). The police department told me it's a civil matter (which I figured).

What are your thoughts? Do you think I have enough evidence to take them to court? I've bought several investment properties in the past and have never gone through this. :(
