What's the law on this? Does she have to get it within a certain time frame?

I don't want to be that guy that just throws it all on the road but damn this is pissing me off. I took the day off work so she could come get it and now she says she doesn't have anywhere to put it.

Rent a small storage spot, put her stuff in it and give her the bill for a months payment.

She either finds room or the storage place makes room.

Rubbermaid giant tubs with covers are cheap.  Makes it easy to drop it off somewhere and/or quick and painless when she finally comes to get it.

Because of crap like this.

Now she won't answer my calls or text me about it. I'm guessing she just wants me to do it for her or something.

Either that or she is just not really wanting to get out yet. She's the one that left too that's why I don't know why she is being so difficult about this all of the sudden.

This was an realatively ameanable break up and I really don't like being an asshole but she sure knows how to bring it out in me.

Don't pay money for storage and expect her to pay you back.

I like the "leave it on her porch" approach, though she'll work very hard to make sure she doesn't know about it until after, so she can report the stuff stolen and sue you and thus stay in your life a few minutes longer.

I think that if you don't pay it they cut the lock and impound your stuff till you pay. If you don't pay they have a yard sale.

The money spent for the storage is better than the heartache they bring with falsehoods of stolen or missing items.

Document, store, never speak to her again.

The moms porch thing sounds good too but I wouldn't want to converse with the parents if i didn't have too.

If you put it in storage and pay for a month, likely it will end up getting impounded and sold when she fails to remove it or pay for another month.  Then she'll forever blame you....

At least this is what I've seen happen.  If she was a go-getter she'd have already gotten her stuff and moved on with her life (or perhaps she wouldn't have been kickable to the curbable in the first place)

Give it all to her mom.

She lives with her mom. And you hit it right on the head. She isn't a go getter and that is exactally why we r not together. This just cements in my mind why I am not with her anymore.

ETA: I'm just curious what the law is on this kind of thing. i don't want to get phucked because of something stupid. My job depends very much on me not getting in trouble.

Pack all of it up and ring the doorbell to her mom's place.  Make sure there is a huge black dildo on top of the box and let her know that she can have her shit back, and that you found this while cleaning out her shit.

Yep.

A storage rental contract is much like a month-to-month rental agreement, with ALL the hassles, including cleaning deposits. The person who rents the space is liable for payment, even if someone else's stuff is in there.

ETA

'Haggle' should be 'hassle.' Haggle means arguing, bartering, etc. Hassle means creating trouble.

Unless you have a pressing need to remove the stuff from your place; wait a month and then send her a registered lettter to the effect that he has 30 days to remove all of her crap or you will consider it to be abandoned property which will be donated to charity.

So first you get to be the nice guy; and then later, you get to kick her in the ass.

Put her stuff in contractor bags and leave it by the curb.  Tell her she has until garbage night to come and get her stuff!

Oh yeah, if you really want to have fun, mix up some garbage with the contractor bags but not with her stuff.  Remember, revenge is a dish best served cold!

You can probably be held responsible for her stuff

pack it up and deliver it to her mom\her house if

she won't come and get it.  If you rent a storage

unit from a keep-the-key(big franchise)they will

likely put YOUR ss# on it instead of using hers

Also note in the letter that it has been 30 days since she left.

General idea, but you better learn and follow the law in your state.  Abandoned property, usually needs to be kept for more than 30 days, then disposed off in the manner called out by law.  You may have to advertise in the paper of record, and in some sates, since you know who it belongs to, you might have to retain the money to transfer to her.

Do it wrong and learn to love a civil lawyer.

get a couple of friends to go with you and take it to her moms.Have her parents go through it with you and check off on everything being there.mayeb even have her mom sign a reciept or something.This gives you two people for a witness and a signed reciept that you delivered the stuff to her parents. She could very well be leaving it at your house to keep some sort of attachment to you in hopes of getting back together.Women play games!!!!,they play screwed up crazy games and you cant win .Just get rid of it in a safe way that covers your ass,change your door locks and start dating her younger sister.

If you arranged a time (even a whole DAY) for her to come pick it up and she did not, put it on the curb.  You made an effort for her to gather her belongings.  She failed to do so.  That is not your problem.
