Answer 1

Honestly? I’m done playing receptionist for someone who ghosted me — I’m not running a lost-and-found for exes. Don’t give him 24 hours or wait around for a miracle text: take clear, timestamped photos of everything and keep the receipts/proof of the photographs (screenshots, file metadata, whatever), then send a short written notice (text/email/letter) saying where his things are and giving a firm pickup deadline. As a rule of thumb, hold non-valuable everyday items for about 30 days from when you first told him (so you’re already past that window if you asked Jan 3 — you can responsibly dispose of or donate clothing and household junk now), but do NOT throw away his house keys or anything valuable; either return keys by tracked mail, leave them at his front door with photo proof, or hand them to a neutral third party (property manager or police station) and keep receipts/proof of delivery — laws vary, and keys can cause real liability, so document everything. Bottom line: be firm, document obsessively, do the decent thing with keys, and then declutter your life without guilt. “Letting go isn’t giving up — it’s making space for better things to come.”
