Jeep

I am a u.s citizen studying medicine in nevis, west indies. while home on spring break my belongings from my apt were placed in a rental jeep by another student due to an apt emergency. the student was told by another student that the fees were all paid up through may 2007. the owner came and possessed the jeep with my belonging in it stating that the original renters had left the country owing him money. he now refuses to release my property and i am starting school. all my belongings, books, printer, etc for school are in his jeep. these items were taken from my apt and placed in his jeep without my knowledge. i found out when i returned. i need some legal assistance. i do not believe that he can legally hold my things as hostage until the other students pay up. where could i go for legal assistance. i do not trust the local lawyers as they are nevisian and i am white and a minority here and there is blatent discrimination.

I would try going to the nearest embassy and see if they can help you
