I would go to the cops, I'm sure they would be interested in a felony collar, especially with the end of the month just around the corner.

If the authorities don't respond appropriately and you're in a big city you can always reach out to the local news "crime stoppers" type of folks. Same deal, prepackaged story for one of their reporters and let shame bring about proper response.

I have a much more productive suggestion, come help me cut and haul firewood. By time we get the pickup and 18' trailer loaded with oak I guarantee you that you'll be too tired to think, much less be angry.
To make sure you're exhausted you can even run my Stihl 075, it weighs 27 lbs.

by helping him do things. SSL9000J believe me that that's my intention!
Savannah I don't know if counting has ever helped me calm down. Even though as a child for some reason when my parents only counted to three and I was in a better attitude. Oh wait . . . otherwise I would be disciplined. Never mind, counting has never helped
Thank you guys for everything.

Love it.
Think of it this way, a guy comes to you home, buys a part, while he is there he picks up your $1400 flat screen. Or lap top. Or lawn tractor. Or $1400 cash sitting on the table. This is what you pay taxes for, to maintain a law enforcement community to protect you from evil doers or all types. Our public servants can advise you quickly on this matter. It is the kind of thing they do for a career, and do it very well in most cases. A police report will allow you to claim it for a theft loss (insurance and/or taxes), if you don't get the part back. For all you know he is on probation for something else, and this could be a quick trip back to the crowbar hotel for the "purple trader".

I'm betting she doesn't have insurance on a parts truck and a lot of home owners policies don't cover vehicle losses, especially if you don't own the vehicle. I doubt she wants to sue her dad.

Depends on policies for sure. But unrecovered theft loss might offer some compensation (tax preparer will advise). A trip to the boneyard can get one for under $50 usually. Or mail the guy a bottle of sodium silicate that has been re-branded as Rover Turbo MPG oil boost. Add entire contents to crank case.
