Not gonna happen in any time soon to be candid. You made a foolish decision placing such a valuable item on consignment without better vetting and protecting yourself. You will likely need to hire a lawyer to sue the person, get a judgment if you win and try to get a replevin for return of the stole or money damages to try to collect. You will likely spend a good deal of money in such an effort due to the circumstances. You can also try to make a home owners claim if the stole is covered.
