Quite a lousy situation.  However, my take on it is this.  Sounds like your boyfriend holds some of the cards here.  Unless his ex had a signed contract with him regarding the money she had loaned him, she would be hard pressed to get it back unless she is willing to go through some major legal wrangling.  And yes, he was being used as a "storage unit" so he should definitely be entitled to the market rate of what that would have cost the ex had she done it properly.  I know what I would do.  Don't pay her a cent and dare her to try to take it to court.  In fact, you probably would have a better chance to prevail in a lawsuit you would bring against her considering the lack of 30 day notice as added ammo as well.  You may want to consider small claims court, since you could most likely do this on your own w/o lawyering up.

The charge of Possession doesn't mean or imply ownership or actual personal usage.  If it is in an area under your control (your car or a car you are driving) then it is considered in your possession.  Unfortunately you can't prove you didn't know it was there.  Except maybe if it was a rental car and you just put the keys in it but hadn't put any personal items in it, hadn't started it and had witnesses that said you didn't place anything in the car.\n\nSorry I know it isn't the answer you want.

Sorry, you're out of luck.  If you gave them to him as a gift, then they are legally his.

It is not legal to occupy someone else's property. There is, however the doctrine of adverse possession that provides that if someone has actual, visible, hostile, notorious, exclusive, and continuous possession of the property and possibly makes a claim to the title without being opposed for a long enough period of time, the person owns the property. The way this all plays out varies quite a bit by jurisdiction, but the doctrine is part of our common law and thus is possible in any state. In general, this does not apply to government land.

If you are in a Chapter 7 they can take certain things but usually not all your personal belongings. \n\n\nRead this page: \nhttp://www.expert-credit-advice.com/bankruptcy_facts.htm

Yes, they can take your car, your house, and any thing else associated with the crime. It is part of RICO Anti-racketeering law.\n\nOh, and you still have financial responsibily for the confiscated items.

If you have someone elses property and do not give it back, that is a crime in many states ( depends on your state law)  it is called theft by conversion ( refusl to give it back)\n\nDoes not matter if insured or not.\n\n** of course you may just sue them in small claims court for the value of the goods.\n\n** and of course you can do both

Seeing as you threw it away it would be hard to provide her a key. She can, though, require you to pay for the value of the key since it wasn't your property.

No, you have no case.  The fact that you stayed there for four years indicates that you were happy with the arrangement.  You also have no proof of the agreement.

pack and store them for pick up.  Contact him by phone and in writing to pick them up.  Give him a certain time period to pick them up (5 -30 days)  afterward, you can then do what you want with the items if he hasn't responded.  At least you've given him time to pick them up.  And you wouldn't feel guilty because it would be his decision if he chooses to ignore your request or neglects to pick up his items.  If he wants to get legal with it you'll have proof that you gave him time and written notification.

If they gave you written permission (literally written and signed), then you are ok. But if there is none, I just hope this person doesn't send out an arrest warrant. Because there is no proof that you have the right to take money out.

There are different mediums to look at, First, was the property in question obtained through means of the charge you have recieved, second, is the property illegal to own, or for you to own in the first place. If the government can prove you obtained your property through illegal means, chances are that you wont get it back. There are howevwer some exceptions to where you may be able to buy back your property by paying certain administrative fees. You would need to talk to an attourney about that.

I think it depends on what state you're in.  Document all the attempts that you have made to return her belongings, send a certified letter stating that if she doesn't pick them up in 30 days, they will be disposed of.  Check with your local statutes, but I think that would cover your liability.  Good luck.
