I am so sorry about the theft. Do you have renters or homeowner's insurance? If so you could file a claim through them. Some carriers now include identity theft protection as well. Even if you don't have a policy, if you live with someone who does (parents?) the policy would cover you as a resident of the home. If she has your bank account information you will want to contact your bank asap and have the account frozen and the number changed. Banks are usually on the ball so if she tries to use the account they may contact the police. It will also protect you in case your check book was in the purse so she can't write a check to herself and cash it or if she does, it will be rejected. Lastly, you may want to check with pawn shops in your area. Sometimes people take items like that to a pawn shop and "sell" them. They are supposed to keep records of the people who sell them items and she might use her real information which the police could use to catch her. The only thing that sucks is depending on the laws in your area, you may have to pay to get your stuff back, which is not fair, but sometimes you have no recourse.
