I don't mind the stuff being there, but rats are YUCKY.
I guess I see this situation like this:
A) Wanting to protect yourself and your home from disease ridden vermin is NOT codependent behavior. That is looking after YOU.
B) Protecting the belongings of someone who is neglecting them because
you don't want
their things getting ruined WOULD be enabling.
If I had someone storing things in my yard that was attracting rats they would have exactly one day to figure out how they were going to remove that stuff or I would be having it removed to the dump!!! YUCK!!!
