Once you are asked to leave private property and you refuse you are trespassing. It’s as simple as that. The word private means everything here. Her relationship with the business has ended and she was told she was no longer welcome on the property. Anything after that she is a trespasserYou keep saying “private property” like it means anything. This is a former employer and she was just fired. A employer does not have the right to withhold your belongings over petty theft. If she’s fired she has the right to grab her things and leave the premises. Withholding someone’s belongings actually gives them a valid excuse to not leave the premises.
