MC, just remember the three parts of a legitimate apology:
1) Make a sincere statement of remorse.
2) Make restitution; repair or replace (to the best of your ability) what you have lost or damaged.
3) Make a commitment to not repeat the same action that caused the harm in the first place.
What this means is that at some point in the future, if she ever comes to you and says "Hey, let's let bygones be bygones", you say "Okay, as soon as you replace my things." If I were you, I would hold her to it.
Nobody "needs" family that behaves this way.
