The prescriptive period to file action for the crime of theft depends on the value of the property stolen as the penalty for the said crime depends on the value of the stolen goods.

Hi Mr. Edge,

You should have to produce evidence first before you can sue him directly. It is a basic requirements. A speculations only can not be a proof that the person is guilty. It is based on experience.

Thanks.
