A few dollars, so what? You probably spend that on a cup of coffee. Move on.
Well the problem is that I currently do not have any adress for her. She didn't leave any when she left (she was moving in with a friend and that was a temporary situation). I tried to search on the Website of the University she was supposed to study at with no sucess. I googled her with no sucess whatsoever.

So the item (a piece of art) is not so much as stake, as the fact that I would have to renew the whole conversation back (after... well over a year). I still have the same phone number & email, if she would have wished to contact me she could have done it easily.

Even in the email were she said: "ship it I will pay you back", she didn't give her adress (?!?!?!). Partly why I didn't send it at that time (what was she thinking?).

So as it as been a year, should I let sleeping dog lie and get rid of that thing one way or another. Or do I have an obligation to contact her and make the effort to send it wether it is at my expense or not? Or am I just worrying too much about little meaningless details?
