Wis. Stat. § 810.14
Damages for the loss of use of detained property must be based on a showing that the plaintiff was in a position to use the property and that the property would have been used but for the unlawful detainer. Korb v. Schroedel, 93 Wis. 2d 207, 286 N.W.2d 589 (1980). A successful plaintiff in a replevin action is entitled to damages. If the property is recovered by the owner, the damages are usually measured by interest and, if the property depreciates in value during the time of the wrongful detention, the amount of the depreciation. Global Steel Products v. Ecklund Carriers, Inc. 2002 WI App 91, 253 Wis. 2d 588, 644 N.W.2d 269, 01-1151. A party bringing an action for replevin may recover not only possession of personal property but also damages for its detention. To that effect, the legislature has enacted two statutes of repose-s. 893.35 regarding recovering possession of the property and s. 893.51(1) with respect to damages. Mueller v. TL90108, LLC, 2020 WI 7, 390 Wis. 2d 34, 938 N.W.2d 566, 17-1962.
