We mutually agreed to part ways, and she agreed to return a couple of things she had of mine (a booster seat, a clicker to my garage door, and a placard-thing that lets her pick my kid up at school) after she had surgery scheduled for the next week.

She texted me a week or two later and asked me to pay her for the one day she'd worked and not been paid for, and told me she'd get my stuff to me the next week. I (foolishly, in retrospect) transferred money into her account.

It's been more than 2 months now. I can't get my stuff back. She won't answer my texts or my calls or my emails.

I know it's not more than $100 worth of stuff. But I want it back.

Any ideas?

Have her arrested. Or, since she's a diabetic, threaten her with oatmeal cookies.
