What would you do if your roomate stole your car for hours at night while you were asleep.

Old friend was homeless so i let her and her boyfriend stay here. I wake up a 2am cant find my phone and my cars gone. I told them when they got back to pack there shit and they tried to go to bed. People textin me tellin me they were tryin to sell my phone and a whole bunch of sim cards. So i went in there and yanked the curtain down and they were makin out. I flipped the light on and told them to start packin shit or i was for them. And now they sayin they can call the law for touching their stuff. But they havent signed or payef nothin.

It can depend upon a few factors, such as the state/city and how long they have been residing there. If they stayed for a few days, they are guests, and you can inform them to leave at your discretion. Once they have established residency, it can be a bit more difficult to evict them, even if they have not paid anything.

You do have a bargaining chip, however, because they stole your car. Tell them that if they do not leave, you will call the police and have them arrested for the theft of your vehicle, and once they're in jail, their stuff will not be warehoused, and will be put on the curb at the first legal opportunity to do so. Cut ties with these people, and get them out of your house.

@CreateTVT I am sorry to hear that. What a nightmare! Lock up everything, and serve them with an eviction ASAP.
