Have you reported the phone stolen with the phone company or the police? You can report to both, and ask for a police report. You could also file a civil suit for the phone or it's value. The question is, how much time, energy and money do you want to dedicate to this?

You can report your phone stolen. You can tell the police who you believe stole it. You can't drive them to her house and lead her take down. You've done your part at this point, unless you also wish to sue her in civil court.

Sure, if it's your property and you did not give it to her as a gift, but don't expect the police or the prosecutor to do much about it.
