A dillema

I don't know, but I usually like to avoid conflicts that can never be truly resolved. I prefer realist over pessimist, but you're probably not gonna get your items back. So just write the stuff off...

If you still have the passwords/access to the mule account, take what you want or even just change the password. Otherwise, get some people together that you know in real life, or even just fairly well online. Find a few lurkers ;-) (I play HC on USEast). Share in drops, and simply play by whoever picks it up gets it, as long as it isn't useful for the other specific character. As in if a bow drops, and your barbarian partner picks it up when you're an amazon, you still get it if you want it.

If someone is greedy, stop playing with them. Keep individual mules, and trade freely between each other. Also have a joint account, where you keep the mediocre/twinking equipment, partial sets for low-mid level chars, etc.

Basically, just play honestly and courteously, and try to find good people. And don't think twice about leaving a greedy player in the dust.

Hope that puts it in perspective.
