Unless it was some stuff you REALLY ABSOLUTELY need like a respirator or a family heirloom or the bones of Jimmy Hoffa, I would suggest...just letting it go. Just part with it. Just free yourself from that part of your life, if it's making you upset and you're just sinking money into it. Yeah, it sucks but sometimes you have to part with stuff and get on with life.
You know, I like you from what I have seen of you so far and am sorry that you've run into this situation, but I would have to agree with almadel_adonaij in this. Sometimes you simply have to write things off and move on. I'm betting your worrying, hate, disbeliefe, etc.. has cost you more than the value of whatever toys you left behind that this person still has of yours.
If the toys are a significant enough value, like $500 retail, you might want to try looking into small claims court to collect. It really depends on how much you want to bring a third party into it, though.
Thank you all for your advice. I will take this all into consideration. Its not the fact that he still has my stuff but the fact that he lied to me and its been 2 years since then.
I tend to think of this parable in these sorts of situations. Some people simple are not nice. It doesn't makes sense. It might go against all that you know about them initially. But once you realize that they are a scorpion by nature, you really can no longer lose sleep over their situation as this is simply who they are. You won't have it within you to change their point of view, at least not easily, and it is probably a good thing that you can't understand why they do the things that they do or what they are thinking. Simply know that this is who they are and that it isn't your fault or anything personal against you in particular. Accept them to be someone that you have learned a lesson from and shouldn't associate with and move on without looking back. They're certainly not worth the years of worry or thought that you've had in dwelling on this, and clearly they don't have it within them to appreciate you for who you are
