A friend of mine moved about 1 1/2 - 2 years ago. She packed all her belongings in her car. She didn't have much room so she left me one valuable item that I was to keep until she came back (she was due to visit 6 months later but cancelled her trip at the last minute). She betrayed me, lied to me and I ended up badly hurt (unrelated story). I haven't been in contact with her at all for at least one year now. She emailed months ago, saying that I could ship the item and she will pay me back, I didn't know how to react at that time so I did nothing. She haven't emailed, phone or else about the item since (except only that one time).
The thing is in my shed and is sort of an emotional weight. I could probably get about 35-40$ for it if I were to sold it on ebay but its emotional value for her is probably more.
If I ship it that will be at my expense and I have little hope of getting my money back. She did't seem to care that much about the item in the first place as she was willing to leave it behind, and hasn't been insisting that much about getting it back (except for this one email).
I already gave up on her friendship so this is not at stake here.
What would you do?
