If the person you removed is in a small group you share in common with him/her. I don't know the details of how small it has to be, but <100 is preferrable, you can see them on the friendslist's GROUPS -tab when you show the members of the group.

By opening the chat window, it'll get a bit of the log out visible for you.

Otherwise, unless you've manually stored chatlog, there's none available for you for someone you've removed.

"Proof" won't do anything. They don't return scammed items regardless of what you have in terms of logs or records. If you give your item to another player, regardless of what they say they will give you in return, it is their item.

All you can do is go to their profile, click "More" and click "Report Violation" and tell Steam they scammed you. You won't get your items back, but the player may recieve a trade ban.
On the first page of the comments, Foxe mentions the steam android app. the app will store your chat logs, even ones that chat that you type on the computer, for about 3 to 4 months, depending on the last time you spoke with that person. Im guessing it doesn't work with people you've unfriended, but it does work with your friends. The steam app is also on the iTunes store for those with an iOS device, so if you're looking to keep a medium term chat log with someone, get the app

You do not need it. Steam support staff have all your logs like chat history, email change history, password change history, IP's and so on.
All you need to do - contact with Steam support.

Maybe a password to check your chat history?

yet you can check your chat history on your phone...which is more likely to get stolen then say a desktop computer.

yea, someone gave me good reccs for a video card in Steam chat. now I can't find the old message that I'm ready to buy. Not having chat logs is stupid.

What does that make not writing down important information gained from one?

+1 to the idea, even though once its out, scammers won't say anything on the chat that may threaten them later. We still need it for its usefulness, ex someone gives you a link to a youtube video, you close the window, link is lost (happened to all of us)

As far as the 'scammer' comment, there's nothing at all that says Valve doesn't keep records of our personal chat logs for their own uses, we just don't have access to them.
