The only time I've ever dealt with small claims court was in NY state. Won a judgement against my landlord for the security deposit and she refused to pay. Went to the sheriff and they garnished her wages. Done and done.
NYC has a pretty nontraditional setup where the city sheriffs are basically set up to be the enforcement arm of the courts and only work civil issues. Certainly makes stuff like this easier.
This sounds like this might have been in NYC?
