My ex stole a few things of mine from me when we broke up. After getting her to agree to leave them for me at our apartment the day I came to move my stuff out, she did not leave them there (after me repeatedly reminding her). Don't steal from someone who is moving stuff out of your apartment, as they may forget who paid for what. I took anything I wanted and left a bunch of crap I didn't. If you want to force a trade with me then I will take whatever I deem to be fair in return. What she took was very sentimental to me and so I took much more than its value in return. I also left a bunch of crap there I had never bothered throwing out or taking to the Goodwill.
I know it sounds petty but while I was living there for a week after we broke up (she was living somewhere else), she came in and took the items I owned. Without permission, later telling me she just wanted to "use" them. Like she didn't need permission. Then she tried to convince me to let her keep the items, and when I said no she agreed to leave them there when I moved out so we could have a clean split and not have to worry about settling anything else. She obviously wanted the items and made a conscious decision to steal them from me, so I made sure to get a very good deal in return
