Is it even worth it to report it?

I received a present (a brand new phone) from my then boyfriend for Christmas during our gift exchange. A 2 or three days later he secretly went into my things and took it out in order to tell it.

How did I know he took it?
He was supposed to sell it initially (created ad on adverts) but didn't sell it and gave it to me instead. On Monday I went looking for it to open it and couldn't find it When I asked him he denied taking it. But I went onto adverts and typed his name in and found the ad still active and placed an offer (as someone else) which he accepted, which he then set up a time and place to exchange money and phone. I showed up and so did he with the phone and refused to give it to me. we broke up caused I became disappointed in his actions and broke up with him.

Long story short I feel like he stole it and maybe I should go to the Garda to make a complaint. is it even worth it to make a complaint?

I have a video of him giving it to me as a present and also all the messages of him planning to sell it back.

I'm assuming its EX boyfriend now?

No, just forget you ever received it, forget you ever had anything to do with him, put it down to life experience and move on.

Guards can do nothing for you without proof of ownership.

Your ex boyfriend lied to you and stole back the gift he gave you and you are worried about a phone?

You should be thankful to be rid of both.
