More details to this question:
My ex-landlord stole my truck back in March of 2018. A police report was done and some damage was done. We have been to Court and all financial issues with Truck have been resolved. Can I still have him arrested for this crime? As of today August 3,2018

If you reported the crime back in March and the police elected not to charge it, then you would have to petition the District Attorneys office to file charges. Civillians do not have the power to file charges in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, that power rests solely with the Police and District Attorneys. Given that the financial matters have been cleared up its entirely possible that they would decline to charge as it may look like a retribution complaint. If you feel strongly enough about it talk to the police and/or the District Attorney and see if charges can still be brought.
