Lost a tool today......need advise

[Fastbird]

Father-In-Law of the perp called the shop today to see about what'd going on. Was very cool and collected, but was asking if I was going to pay for the caliper. I caught wind because my writer went walking by and said loudly "No I don't think it's fair that we ask (my name) to pay for the caliper when it came in here leaking in the first place." He laid a plug about the perp holding my tool hostage, but it didn't go anywhere. I'm going to let it pan out this week and if by the end of the week I haven't hear anything then I'll file a police complaint.
