It is common sense that if you claim something belongs to you and was stolen that you have to prove it. There has to be some evidence. You are not being victimized twice if you don't have that evidence, except maybe by your own stupidity.
Small claims court takes about 3 months. You file a complaint, which can be handwritten and in most places doesn't even have to state a claim coherently. The defendant gets an answer date and then you get a hearing date. The judge will hear both of you and sort the mess out. It's not a lengthy process and it's not difficult.
