Trover damages are measured by the market value of the object (not its replacement cost) plus compensation for deprivation of use and compensation for other losses naturally and proximately caused by the wrongful taking. The plaintiff can also recover interest that would have been earned by the money value of the object and any expense (except attorney's fees) incurred in attempting to recover the object. If the taker sold the object for more than its market value, the plaintiff receives that higher price. If the taker has made improvements on the object (e.g., repainted it), the value of such improvements are not deducted from the plaintiff's recovery unless the taking was by mistake.
