How can I get back my things that I stored temporarily at a friend's house?

I had to move some of my belongings to a friend's house because I lost my apartment. A few days later, the friend and I had a fight at his apartment complex and lied to the police and said I hit him (never happened). The cops didn't believe him either but had to ban me from his complex due to I am not a tenant there. Now he won't return my calls and I know he will lie and claim that I gave him the items to keep. We never agreed he would keep anything of mine. We agreed verbally that the items would only be kept by him for a short time only and nothing was put into writing.
