More details to this question:
Lent someone a 400$ synthesizer a few years ago. It was pawned off when I requested it to be returned about a month after I had lent it. This was done without my consent and was never compensated nor took legal action.

There are statutes of limitations on every civil cause of action. Your claim can be characterized as either a breach of contract or the tort of conversion. I don't know what the statutes of limitations are on these claims in Louisianna; in New York they are 6 years for breach of contract and 3 years for conversion, but many states have shorter statutes of limitations. If you want to sue, you should get a move on.
