Good for her. I went through something similar a few months ago. I had my car parked in the driveway and similarly someone broke into it (it was locked, but didn't have an alarm) and they stole my GPS and chargers.

I found the post on Craigslist the next day and contacted the person with a fictitious email and name. He emailed me back asking for my phone number to set up a meeting.

At that point I had three options:

a) File a police report/contact the insurance company and have my insurance rate hiked up (for a < $100 GPS) b) Meet the thief in-person and pull a Chuck Norris on him c) Let it go and pick another GPS up / Fix my car door

I chose C as I didn't like the outcome of A, nor the possibility of him and his hooligans retaliating against my family if I went with B.
