More details to this question:
we have a bad houseguest who used my creditcard without permission. After kicking this person out, we found some of the items purchased in the room where she was staying. Can we take the items and return them to the store ourselves in order to reduce the creditcard debt she created in our names? or would that be considered stealing her property? she is due to come back with police escort to claim her personal effects. who rightfully owns the items she billed to us?

You need to put the credit card companies on written notice that the cards were not used by you. You can return the items to the store for credit and put the store on written notice that you did not buy the items.You need to give written notice to the police as to what happened. Ed Dimon
