Live and learn. No one here will be able to give you any real advice because I doubt anyone here has ever had the same experience. You're going to have to sort through this problem yourself. Going to the police is a waste of time, they may sympathize with your story, but that's all it is, a story, you can bet that if they ever found the woman, she would have a story too, and it would probably be quite a bit different from yours.

At least the restaurant let you leave without doing something like holding onto your ARC card (which they have been known to do). Pay them their money when you get it, and consider it a tuition payment for another lesson on life.
