Sounds like a lot of prep and work. When my ex (from 11 yrs ago) and I spilt (he cheated and left me for another) I put all his stuff out on the curb (valuable hockey cards and all) and called him and said "All the rest of your things are outside and you may want to come get them before people start picking through it"
He was here in 10 mins. We were together 11 yrs so there was a lot of stuff to come get.
I was done making his sh*t, my sh*t and to me it was garbage to that's where it went!
