You don't identify the item, or the reasons for the move out or even the age of the child. If the item is only $300.00 or thereabouts, it the fight worth it? Do you even have a use for the item, or do you simply want it back because you feel hurt by the move out?

A gift cannot be taken back for any reason. Once you give something to a person it becomes their property.
