The time and money spent on this would be a no win scenario in my opinion. Move on. Use the court costs and the time spent on a new sofa and tv. Time is also money and the time spent on this venture will surely not pay off in the long run. You will create only a messier situation in doing so.
Good luck on your lifes lessons, you have just learned another valuable one.

IMO the couch and tv are not worht the bad blood you would create by making claims.
That said, if you want your money back from them just file a small claims suit.

Yes -- you can sue them for the cost of replacing the couch and TV.
When they said you could store the property -- they created what the law calls "bailment" -- the property was effectively held in trust for you. When they disposed of your property, that was "conversion" -- and you can sue for the cost of replacement.
