Completions-Personal Property

Why do other people have your personal possessions?
Were they:

Used as collateral to buy drugs?
Given as a token of affection?
Loaned to a friend in need and not returned?

What is their value to you?
Are they:

Irreplaceable family heirlooms?
Personal keepsakes you would like returned?
A vehicle registered to you but driven by another person?

Make a Decision

Decide what is important to you and what risk or effort will be required to get your goods returned.
Will you need to be in contact with people who still are using?
Are your possessions really necessary in your new life? Can you let them go?

Can someone act as an intermediary for you to get them returned so you do not risk contact with people still using?
If you have lent a vehicle, do you trust the person to pay fines, insurance etc. and not increase the cost and liability to you. Most likely not. This is a high risk situation you should clear up immediately.
Have the vehicle returned, and if this is not possible seek legal advice about what to do next.
