OK so I was with my friend and I had my limited edition mario 3DS with me that I got for Christmas its about $200 after I had just bought my first game for it Pokemon which was about $30 and it had fallen out of my purse and I didn't notice until I got to my door with him so I told him I needed to get it and he told me he really needed to leave and he would give it to me next time he sees me but I told him that I need it now but his car was locked and he was freaking out because he didn't want to meet my brother so he left with my 3DS and this was in December this is now July and he still has not given it back and every time I talk to him he says the same thing that he will give it back soon and he refused to let me go to his house and get it or meet him in Moulton he lives 32 minutes away but the point is am I able to call ythe cops on him to get my property

Call the police, make a report. Get a case number, go to small claims court.

Not if he's black. It's part of my Wealth Redistribution and Slavery Reparations Executive Order.

The bigger issue is that he apparently stole your "." key and any sense of grammar and punctuation. I believe you have a strong civil case here.

+1. Call him and tell him that if he doesn't bring the property back you're going the county clerk and filing a claim to take him to small claims court to recover the property. You will also make him pay for the court costs.

no you can't use the town's *VERY* fucking expensive court system to recover small change
it's always been the law (thousands of years) that you have a legal duty to others to hold on to your wallet tight, not fall for con artists
your loss is counted a "a well learned lesson not to do such things again"
you'll only be helped if it's larger sum of which would (endanger you / poverty) were you not to recover it

sure you can fill out a report but $200 would be small claims - i don't think the police would even take the report - since small claims court does not force litigants to come in with a gun at their head
anything involving police using weapons to get a person in court: necessarily a criminal court (or perhaps a very good civil case and allot of money missing)

Tell your brother to beat his ass if he doesn't give it back.

if you check periodicals from legal schools you'll see blacks have continually been working on a way to make a law that hands today's blacks allot of cash for suffering of people who they didn't even know.
if the above act ever passed, and i doubt it i'd like to see a copy to beleive it (has been turned down many many times), it was definitely due to obama as president.
in law you have to sue who is responsible while they are alive or at least who is holding assets that were illegally gained. most whites had absolutely nothing to do with slavery. and most blacks have absolutely NO claim that slavery 200 years ago has effected them financially today.

What's telling about slavery is that not one of these whining, bitching, lazy black descendants has ever considered moving back to their ancestral homeland of Africa. The freebies are just too good here in a country founded by those awful white people.

1. Go to his house when you know he's not home and wait for him--with your brother.
2. Refuse to leave until you have your stuff.
3. Never call him again.
Any questions?

There is no crime if you left it at his house because you forgot it - he did not steal it, you left it. You could face a suit for slander/libel if you file a theft reprot or tell others he stole it. You simply have a civil claim - you can either (i) seek to recover the specific property (its called an action in "replevin") - google that term and you'll find plenty of links and resources. Alternatively, you could file suit for the monetary value since he is not relinquishing it - that's an action for conversion - you don't seek the return of the property, just its value. But if it cost $30, you court filing fees will exceed that and you likely won't recover those.
So you've just learned the truth behind the old saying that "possession is 9/10 of the law"
But if he's really a friend, just keep bugging him for its return - likely he will soon relent and return it.
