Thank you in advance for reading this.

On August 1st I moved into a home owned by two people. One lives in the home, the other in CT. I signed no lease and paid no deposit but verbally agreed to stay for 2 years and verbally agreed that I would give 60 days notice to move out. Well, just a few days into it, it was clear that it would not work out, and I began to feel uncomfortable and threatened by the landlord that lived there. So I gave notice that I was moving out sooner - at the end of the month. And neither one of them objected. Well, sometime during all of this I lost my set of keys (they were possibly stolen). I notified them immediately, and said that if I did not find them within 48 hrs that I would pay to have the locks changed. I did not ever find my keys and I asked the landlord to get a quote to change the locks, or I could get the quote if they preferred. I have asked repeatedly for the quote, and I have now been gone for 12 days, and I have still not seen anything. I recently emailed them to ask if I had left anything behind (I believe I left a jewelry box with expensive jewelry in it, since it was on the very top shelf of my closet). They responded by saying I have no reason to contact them until I pay them for the locks and they mentioned nothing about my personal property I left behind. Well, I have asked again for a quote, and I still have yet to receive one. More than anything I want my jewelry that I left behind because I'm afraid the longer they wait, the less of a chance I will ever see it again. What can I do about this whole
situation?
