Indigent needs legal remedy.?

I loaned a 24ft trailor with sprayers,pumps,hoses,ect to a roofer Total value 35,000.. He refuses to return the equipment to me.He plans to take the equipment to the southern states to work the winter. Police won!t help because of it being a civil. matter.The rental value is about 300-400 per day.The plates have expired.I had him arrested on a non-related matter. He spent seven days in jail and bonded out and has a court appearance in six weeks.I know of his whereabouts but not that of the equipment. I have no money for an attorney. What may I do to recover my property?
