Merchandise was repoed after it was paid for. What can I do?

My husband worked for a furniture/appliance store for 5 years and was good friends with the Manager. My husband asked the Manager if he could cut him a deal on a good riding lawn mower since we had just bought a home with a big yard. The Manager told him that he had just repoed a riding mower and he could have it for the amount owed on it ($600.00). We paid $200.00 down and a couple weeks later paid the remaining $400.00. We have the receipt showing that we paid $600.00 however because this was done under the table (manager and my husband were good friends) no official contract was ever drawn up. My husband a short while later quit the store on good terms for a better paying job. All was well, no hard feelings. Yesterday, a YEAR after we purchased the mower, the Manager shows up at my house knowing my husband is working and not at home and states he has to repo the mower because we havent made payments in a year! I argued with him that we paid it off and he knows that we did. He just said "sorry" and loaded it up and took it! When my husband worked at the store, he did collections. The stores collection process starts when you are two payments behind, that is when the phone calls, home visits, collection letters ect start. We never received one phone call, one letter, one visit. No one even mentioned anything about this mower until he just showed up to take it out of the blue a year later. My question is, what can we do since we had no contract? Did he basically just steal $600.00 from us?

Answer
No, he "stole" your lawn mower. But since you (apparently) gave him access to it rather than call the cops, you'll most likely have to take it up in civil court now.

Won't be easy without a contract, but good luck. :)
