Your only choice is to report her to the police. It is still theft and/or fraud regardless of who is doing the taking. This will only end up getting worse if you don't do something immediately. Not only will it get worse for you but if she considers forging a signature, then she is looking at a felony punishable by 5 years prison. You can only HELP her by helping yourself as well. Good luck.
