What are your guys' take on this? Personally, I still can't figure out if he took it (no evidence), for what reason he did it, because the laptop's a piece of shit and doesn't even work. When we wrote the contract at his office, he has a much better setup.
My parents are thinking of just keep quiet and pray to god that he will finish up and leave, then change all the locks.

Fuck, man, same thing happened to me except they stole my camera, not my laptop. I never did anything about it because I'm too beta to confront people, but you should call the cops or something.

We've actually already went to the station. They can't do jack shit since the contract is civil matter and we don't have evidence of him stealing laptop.

Sorry to hear anon, did you get back to their employer? The contractor in my case is independent, but I'd write a letter to their employer stating the facts and the people who might be involved. Then, I'd go to a police station and file a report.

Also, they suggest us to either cut him off or take chances and let him finish up (only minor stuffs is to be finished), to avoid further damage, before we make a move.
