make a sign that says what she did to you and walk around in
front of her office like when a union goes on STRIKE also make
fliers with your story and hand one to everyone who goes in
and out of her office but be nice if she comes out dont argue
or fight with her just go around her. this will eventually
make her give you your money back. goodluck
