Also, the other company wants me to fill out an affidavit form for a replacement, is that something worth filling out as it's able to be used in court? The worth of the item is less that $800

A affidavit Is admissible In court, and I always suggest not to sign It.

Either way, they'll evaluate the details with Walmart and most likely require the police report.
