Nah, going to the police to file suit and getting a lawyer will cost more money, whether in cash or time and headaches, and not much will come of it. For a lost $100 or so, it isn’t worth it.
Try Small Claims Court instead. No lawyer, modest filing fee, better chance for success at getting your money back. https://dol.ny.gov/system/files/documents/2023/02/ls602.pdf
