Common confusion points
Confusing 'Damage To Property' with just 'Theft of Property'; this form requires both damage AND removal.
Thinking you must file it in the High Court when a District Court filing might suffice.
Forgetting to specify *why* the taking was unlawful (i.e., lack of consent).
Not clearly differentiating between the value of the property and the cost of the damage itself.
