Syllabus

Trial court did not err in denying defendant's counterclaim for conversion where the record demonstrated he failed to use ordinary and reasonable effort to avoid or lessen his damages. Defendant delayed more than 17 months in retrieving his items from the plaintiff's property, this delay was a result of his own actions and not those of the plaintiff, and he had not taken any action to prevent damage to his belongings after learning they had been removed from the pole barn and placed outside.
