Sorry to hear about the crap this guy is putting you through. Like others have said, file a police report as it is now considered a stolen item and than seek legal advice. Additionally, do try every avenue of communication possible - forums, email, etc. to 'work' with this thief on having your item returned.
A similar situation happened to me and a bunch of others with an FFL out of Shoreline, WA. He just up and shut down one day and blamed his 'business partner" (wife) for taking every $ and leaving him. Also said some bubblegum about her being suicidal and took their kid, blah blah. Meanwhile, he had a bunch of customer cans (thru Silencer Shop) waiting for their stamps, including ones that had already been cleared by AFT. He 'claimed' while he was on 'deployment' some crashed into in mail box and all the mail was lost…whatever.
There's a ton of drama on a few boards where he would communicate , make a million excuses including using his service status and than disappear. Basically he was not honoring his financial obligations - took money for products sold and refusing to deliver them.
Long story short, I was lucky enough to be able to get my 2 cans almost 2 years after the initial purchase through another FFL that was in limited contact to the original FFL.
Ever since that screwed up experience, I've stopped using kitchen FFLs for NFA items or any items period. I know this happens with store front ones too, but they're less likely to up and disappear. And last note, the AFT was useless with retrieving my goods but at least they sent me copies of my "lost" stamps.
