Allegations:
Jaber is the former owner of a mixed-use property in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood that was foreclosed and turned over to Peak Properties, LLC. In May 2010, when the foreclosure was pending in court, Jaber moved his tools, equipment and other belongings into the storefront units of the property. In June 2013, Peak filed two court actions to take possession of the unit, claiming that Jaber was a holdover tenant. Before the order was approved, Peak told police that squatters were trespassing in the storefronts. The police removed Jaber's padlocks and let Peak's workers take Jaber's property. Surveillance cameras recorded the workers taking a snow blower and other tools and loading them in a police squad car. When Jaber went to a police station to report the incident, he was told to call police from the property and wait for them there. When police arrived, they refused to file a report. However, later that evening, officers returned with the snow blower. The other tools and equipment were not returned. The value of the lost property was estimated at $20,306.
