He is now refusing to let me get my things out of his house, or his garage. what if any thing can i do about this.

A: Well that is an interesting question which may not have an easy or quick way to fix it. I'd first contact him and find out exactly why he is refusing to return your property. If it's about money owed then you'll have to sue in small claims court. If there is no reason, save spite, you may want to phone the local police or sheriff and ask for them to accompany you over to his house where you can ask for the return of your things.
