I say you should out her. The rest of the community deserves to know. That way they won't make the same mistake. Plus if some of us know her then we can put more pressure on her to return the items.
Heck it makes me a little nervous that I just gave the key to my apartment to a well respected female member of the browncoat community a couple weeks ago to watch my cat. If it turns out to be the same person I might have thought differently about it.

We all know I am usually the one in favor of finding a solution that's kind and gentle... but I say OUT HER! I have lent a variety of things to people and they've all been lovely about returning them ( some even came all the way from Australia to do it.. HUGS Nico) and I would really like to know , before I go off and loan precious things, if there is someone who has so little regard for decency and courtesy. I agree that you should email her and say You have 48 hours to send me a tracking number showing you've shipped my belongings if this does not happen then I will publish the emails and show everyone who you truly are.
Natural consequences are important and how will she ever learn to behave better if she has no consequences for her actions? So really you're just doing her one more favor.

Thanks, guys, I really appreciate the responses.
Sometimes I find outside perspective to be invaluable.

Nico -
Regarding lawyers, I've already met with one (another expense for this act of kindness that I won't get back) and know exactly what I would have to do. I have plenty of money and vacation time to continue down that legal pathway, but I'm really just too tired right now to consider it; too much going on. Yes, it's absolutely not financially worth it, but I'm just really fucking stupid when it comes to What's Right... and I mean, Harry Dresden kind of stupid.......
Zeek (hiya, nice to eSee you again) -
All I will say right now is this: don't lend your keys (or anything else) to any "Browncoats" from Texas. XD

Too late. Now I'm super curious. If it turns out to be anyone I know I'd be happy to mediate as best I can. Not that I'm bestest friends with any of the browncoats I know. Still can't hurt to try.

Okay...that well and truly sucks. I'd like to claim that some of it is because that person is busy with a ton of things, but really...refusing several emails and etc. and acting like a stuck up little... *deep breath* Yeah, unfortunately, that board is becoming very clique-ish and annoying.
I agree with the suggestion of giving her one last note with a deadline of when you need to get it by. That way, she can't bitch and whine about how mean you are to her for publicly embarrasing her on the internet for your stuff and how petty you are...
What about billing her for the items she still has? Calculate costs of materials, time put in, etc., and send her a note and a bill stating that since she hasn't returned the items to you in a timely manner, she has the option of either paying for the items or mailing them back to you by xxx date, and giving you a tracking number to follow up on. (Be mean, give her a week, week-and a half from the day you mail the bill.) *Disclaimer: this might be opening up a can of worms that I shouldn't, but I thought it would be another way to do it.
*rolls eyes at Zeek and RugBug* Read it again you two sillies...(and besides, the cooler there *points to cooler, the one marked "FOR ZEEK AND RUGBUG"* has both of yours when you both stopped acting like each others' sibling...) *eyeroll* But if you don't want it...

That's interesting.
If it turns out that you know this person, and are friends with them, would that affect your view of the situation?

Our economy is so bad even illegal imigrants are bailing out of United States.

It would make me way more skeptical of her. Back when I first met the Austin browncoats there were a bunch of let's say "core" members. Then at one point there was a falling out and 3 of them left in a huff. I never got details about what went down but apparently they accused this lady of something and she says she could never forgive them for it. That seemed really weird to me considering they were so buddy buddy before that.
I've sort of put that out of my mind, but if this was about her I'd really start to wonder if she's just a big fake. Still it would surprise me. She seems like such a nice and genuine person.

HUGS HK you've been very patient and you really deserve better... do what you have to do. If it were me I'd pretty much figure it was my own damn fault if you busted me since i had ample time and warnings and chose to act as though I could do what I wanted with impunity...
