Thank you for the voice of sanity. Of course, I can't put their names out there. If people want to know their names, contact me via private message and I will respond.

No problem but do think you should contact the local police. Costs nothing but even if you do not get your stuff back the guilty party is now known to the police.

What was the response from law enforcement, OP?

I would notify police and if you know where they live---check pawn shops in area to see if articles have been sold. Good luck.

Sadly no. Unless you caught them or have proof there is nothing police will help you with. Even if you find your items at a pawn shop, you will have to buy them back.
Laws are not meant to protect people.

Stolen items
 
If I knew the missing items were in my house before the cleaning people came and the same items were missing after they left you bet I would be signing A warrant for their arrest.How much evidence do you need.All you need is probable course a crime was committed to arrest someone.
Call The Police

Correct but save your breath. OP has been given this advice many, many times on this thread with the exception of a handful recommending playing detective and prowling pawn shops, etc.

OP asked for advice and got it. I think there’s more to this story than meets the eye.

Report the theft to police. They may find your items in a pawn shop and recover them. That is what you hire the police to do. Helps if you have photographs of the valuable items, or other descriptions more probative than your memory.

Call the police and make a report and then pawn shops would be notified. Slight chance of recovery.

We seem to be talking this to death.

You did not give the full story so I’ll go out on a limb.
Probably paid cash for services and no receipt cleaners we’re not bonded or insured. You probably lost more than 2 items equaling $1500 and have not figured it out yet.
Then you come to this forum and ask what to do. What would you do if someone broke into home or stole your car?
