Rent A Center
TV Stolen but they still want us to pay for it, threatening lawsuit

My husband went to Rent A Center to rent a TV for his barber shop. There is two other guys that he works with and they agreed to split the payment three ways with him. Well, my husband was leaving work early and the guy he was working with did not have a key to the barber shop, so he lent him his key for the night. When he got into work the next morning, the TV was gone. So was the remote. But, the playstation and video's and other expensive items were still there. Well, the door was not kicked in. Matter of fact, the door was unlocked.

Well, my husband called the police and made a report. Then he called Rent A Center. They were fine with it at first. They told him that since it was stolen that he was not liable for it. Now, they are saying that since there was not forced entry, we have to continue paying for it. And that if we do not, they will take us to court. Is there any advice anyone can give me? I am at a loss right now. I do not want to pay for a tv that I do not have, and I don't feel that I am responsible for it since it was stolen and there was a police report filed for it.
