You should start with the police first if the stuff is at her house. If she refuses you entry, then you probably have to go to small claim court and sue for conversion of your personal property.

Give up on getting it back. What will she say for keeping it? payment for rent, utilities you owed/shared but did not pay? Loan money you never paid her back? Even small claims court will be a loss to you in this case. No matter what her excuse, its doubtful you'll get it back. Don't mean to be negative, just truthful. And what ever you do, DO NOT go over and try to get it, even with her permission because she'll just start something and call the cops on you - then there's a Domestic Violence Order (restraining order) against you that will follow you for the rest of your life! Or do you even know if there isn't already a restraining order against you? You will know when you get there and get arrested! To say nothing of jail time and probation for a few years! Then if you are caught littering - ie "violating probation by breaking a law" then you are never going to get out of the evil spider web she has cast upon you! From one guy to another, be darn glad all she got was an $800 computer, and that you haven't already been jailed for restraining order violation! Its just not worth it now!

Small claims court would be your legal recourse. The police would very likely deem this civil, and not take any action. Even if an officer responded, he would not order her to turn over the property.
I had a buddy in a similar problem, he stopped by with a dozen roses, apologized, and when she went to work the next day, he cleaned out all his stuff. Just a story, not advice.

Ask the police to accompany you to retrieve your belongings. If she refuses to let you have them, sue her in small claims court where you don't require an attorney.. Furnish any records you have proving the items are yours, receipts, etc.

You dont even need court. Go to your local police station, tell them the situation, tell them you dont want trouble just your stuff, and they can escort you to get your things. Ive done it. Twice.
