The defendant’s third point claims the court erred in not setting aside the actual and punitive damages of the plaintiff’s conversion claim. First, they claim there was not sufficient evidence to support the actual damages of $2,680.00 because the standard must be the fair market value of the property and not “sentimental” value. The missing items amounted to a value no greater than $85.00 by plaintiff’s evidence. Additionally, there was a video tape recorded in Greece from the plaintiff’s father which the plaintiff had not had a chance to watch. It was intended to be the father’s last words to his son and he died approximately five weeks later. No dollar value was placed on the video. The defendants cite Southern Missouri Bank v. Fogle,
