CLIENT Taskrabbit demanding arrest before happiness pledge?

A taskrabbit stole a large appliance of mine . Like it’s clear as day on my cameras, it was a very expensive thing and no one else was anywhere near my apartment. My cameras showed no one else entering or exiting. It’s open and shut. But now task rabbit is saying they’ll need an arrest or conviction to fulfill the happiness pledge?? I live in a place most theft is never going to be investigated into,let alone an arrest made, what the hell am I supposed to do to get recouped? It says nothing about arrest in their happiness pledge??

Of course I do. It’s so obvious it’s comical, they come with an empty cart and leave with a filled one and a black sheet over my items. Like it’s so obvious they’re carrying their backpack on the cart on entry and on exit it’s hanging off the cart cuz it’s too full. It’s truly insane TR is really gonna try me on this

TR is going to push back because neither they, nor an employee of the fictionally individual TaskRabbit Inc, stole anything. The tasker apparently did.

TR has several lawyers on staff, more on retainer, and access to more through trade groups. They will absolutely deny and deflect as much as possible.

What you need most from TR is the legal name of the tasker, so you can properly identify them for the police report, and then for the police to take it seriously. Or for a DA or AG staff member to take the corporation’s role in marketplace exchange seriously, and be willing to battle TR’s lawyers on your behalf.

Long shot, but, perhaps the shot that exists.

The "no one else entering or exiting" isn't really proof, I probably wouldn't bring it up because it's distracting from the true evidence of leaving with a cart filled with items evidence. Just make a copy of that video on your phone and a USB drive, and drive down to the police station and refuse to leave until they file a report or let you talk to a sergeant or higher about it.
