I don't even remembered the last time I posted here but since the Trollhunters are very well known here, I thought I could get some tips.

This is not about a deal that went bad, although it could be seen that way. My ex-gf and I recently departed on some really bad terms. She has a $120 phone as well as $60 cash that she borrowed from me. I know the address of her current residence, work address, and even her parent's residence (out of state). I gave her a cell phone plan on my account because she didn't have good enough of a credit to get her own. Needless to say that after I found out that she was screwing around, I had her line disconnected. Thus, she currently does not have access to a phone so I can not call her. She has no access to the internet, other than at work, either. She has stopped responding to my emails. Earlier today, I had a friend who stopped by her workplace to try to recover those items but was told that she was not at work. The coworkers fail to give out any information on why she's not at work nor the reason that she is not. (She is suppose to work 5 days a week) She's about 55 miles from where I am and I'm thinking of doing one of the following to get those items back from her. I have work and I have class also, so I can not devote all of my time to recovering these items but I'm thinking of the following:

1. Camp outside her apartment and then confront her when spotted? (Assuming she has not moved)

2. Do a surprise drop at her workplace.

3. Call all the numbers on her previous month's phone logs in an attempt to locate her.

4. Call her parents and try to recover the loss from them. (She's 21yrs old and they still support her in some ways: i.e. pay college tuition)

5. Email her again and threaten to report the phone as stolen to the police as well as all her personal information to them if she fails to reply

6. Other alternatives???

Sometimes I wonder if I am recovering these items because I really want them back or if it's because she took advantage of me...

It's a cellphone and $60. Just let it go, it's not worth the heart attack you're going to give yourself.

Edit: And who LENDS his girlfriend $60? You sure you didn't jsut give her the money, and then got pissed during the breakup, so now you want to say you "lent" it to her?

I did lend it to her. She said she would pay me back. ;)

If you broke up because she screwed around on you and she's avoiding you, what makes you think you have a chance of getting the phone and money back? If you persue it, she can file stalking charges on you. Be careful.

Judge Judy, People's Court, Jerry Springer, etc.

Or, drop her parents a polite note saying you'd like to get in touch with daughter to arrange to pick up your phone. Forget about the $60 . . . (think of it as the cost of a date :p)

you just want to see her again and saying she owes you and trying to get it back might allow you to see her.

move on she dumped you.

acutally that is a conditional gift and the guy gets it back....oh anyway, ya let the $200 bucks in phone + cash go. Think of $200 over your lifetime, it really isn't that much.
