I have no idea how the law stands here, but it is definitely a good idea to have everything in writing (certified mail, etc., as another poster said).
When I was in grad school, a professor I was working with left to take a job at another school. The university demanded that he account for a computer he'd been issued in 1985, which they had no record of him ever returning. They threatened to charge him several thousand bucks if it weren't returned. He noted that 1) 1985 was 15 or 20 computers ago and 2) even if he did still have the computer, it wouldn't be worth anything like the 1985 price (if it were worth anything at all). I believe he finally had to get his lawyer to bark at them to get them to back down.
So... yeah, make sure it gets taken care of some way. I wish I had some advice, but definitely don't let it slide.
