Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

Regaining property from family members involved in a divorce
In the past three years I have lent several items of my own personal property to my sister and her husband. These items include beds for the children, several pieces of furniture, air conditioners, etc. They are now going through a nasty divorce and a horrific power struggle for child custody. How can I get back my personal belongings that I lent to them? My sister is indicating that the husband has possession of these items and not only will he not give her the childrens' beds, but she doesn't think he will return my furniture, etc. Is there any type of "quick" relief that I can get in order to get my things back? I do still have receipts for all of these items.

1 Nice way - sent him a letter ask when you can pick them up.

2 Due process way - sue him for replevin of the items.

3 Strong way - call police and tell them he won't return your property. They might persuade him or charge him with theft by unlawful dispositon.
