Sorry if im in the wrong place but i really need help

6 weeks ago my dad kicked me out and has effectivly stolen my mac saying i gave it to him when i never

I spoke to pcso about getting it back and they said i need proof of purchase i have no recipets but my bank statement showing i have paid out £2000 for the mac is this enough as proof of purchase as i bought with inheritance money from my late uncle and i really want my property back

Any help?!?!

    sorry to hear about your troubles but I think you may have to actually sue your father, he doesn't appear to be disputing you bought it, just saying you gave it to him.

    This is not a 'Technical' question which is the purpose of this forum.
    However, to attempt to answer your question - Yes, your bank statement should be enough proof of purchase - Suggest you go back with evidence requested....However, I'm guessing they may decide it's a Civil matter.
    Good luck.

    Oh come on Andy, that's not true pedant mode. You failed to pull him up on spelling 'effectively' wrong and for not using capital 'I's. :D

    The bank statement should be a good start. If you bought online Apple will have the record. If you went in-store ask the store for the camera feed.
