My nephew is divorcing his wife of 7 years. My Mother, Sister and I have "loaned" several items to the woman, always stating that the things were loaned and had to stay in our family. The wife has given the items to her Mother and refuses to return them. Some are heirlooms.
The quilt she has that my grandmother made, was not given to her, she stole it. How do we get back these items?

My response:

Simple. You hire Guido to make her an offer she can't refuse.

No, no. You'll have to sue her for breach of the bailment contract, conversion, theft, specific performance, and monetary damages.
