You could file a claim and delivery action against her. Upon entry of a judgment in your favor, the court would order its return or send the sheriff out to pick it up.

You can go to court and ask for an order turning it over. However, the best advice is to forget it and buy another TV. She is going to say it was a gift and you are going to spend a dozen hours and thousands of dollars fighting over something that is a small fraction of the value. Next time be more careful about what you loan out and to whom.

You could sue her in court. You may end up with a damaged tv set so I would sue for the value.

You can call the police but they probably will not get involved. You will have to file a civil suit and need proof that you bought it and did not give it to her as a gift.

When someone has your property and refuses to return it, in most cases an action will lie against that person for the value of the property or its return to you.

You can sue her in small claims court - it might cost you $100 to file and have her served.

Yes. You can file suit. There is a special action to recover property held by another.
