never pay without the goods first, you need to take it up with your buddy

The shop owner cannot hold anything for payment unless he performed work on it and has a signed work order. If your buddy owed the shop money for painting his toolbox then they could file a mechanic's lien on it. Otherwise the shop owner is flat wrong.
Even if your buddy didn't sell you the box and owed the shop owner $10,000, it doesn't give them any right to the box. You should file against them in small claims court for the RETAIL value of the toolbox and everything in it. You can do this because that's what it would cost to replace it. There is 0% chance they can win this case. Then the shop needs to sue the piece of shit who stiffed them.

What probably should have happened is your friend should have paid the money that you paid him for that toolbox to the owner of the shop and let him know that you have bought it. Basically, the owner can hold anything on that property until the bill has been paid and then after a certain amount of time, they'll have the opprotunity to sell it to try and recoup losses, or they'll just trash it.
I'd try to get ahold of the owner and your buddy and see what you can get going. Guaranteed though it's because your buddy didn't pay that guy any money from selling that toolbox. You can't sell something if it's not yours at the time, ie. past due on rent and its in the shop.

WRONG! Unless there is some type of agreement, the owner cannot hold property for ransom pending payment. I will admit you'll have a hard time getting that box, even with police, cause it's a civil problem. The owner needs to sue your friend for the money owed in civil court.
This hapens all the time with landlord /tenant disputes. Landlords want to hold onto a tenant's property till back rent is payed..can't do it, at least in California.
Whoa tiger. Too much Judge Judy & Judge Alex.

You might as well take this as a learning experience and roll on. And if you ever see your friend again, get your $300 cash back from him or via bangcock.
