My ex girlfriend block me but my stuff is at her house? What should I do?

[BigManSAB]

My ex girlfriend blocked me but I still have $1000 worth of stuff at her house. I’ve tried calling her from blocked numbers, and leaving voice messages asking her to retrieve all my stuff. But she still hasn’t returned any calls. I have a key to her house. Should I just go get it? What should I do?

I would say this could get messy if you just show up unannounced, man. Even though you got a right to your stuff, it's best to handle this smart. Here's what I'd do:

Send her a text laying it out straight - "I need to grab my stuff you're holding, let me know a time we can swap so we don't gotta see each other." Keep it brief, to the point.

Screenshot the text in case you need proof you tried communicating first.

Then wait a few days - if she doesn't respond, send another text saying you're coming by this Saturday at 2pm to collect your things. Again, screenshot it.

When Saturday comes, bring a friend as a witness. Knock on the door and if she doesn't answer within 5 minutes, use your key to go in. Get what's yours fast and peace out.

That way you covered your ass and tried the mature route first. If she still ignores you, at least you gave her a heads up so there's no argument you just showed up unannounced.

Hope it doesn't come to that, but now you got a plan to get your stuff back without drama. She can't say you didn't give her a chance to do it easy way first, ya know?

Give her notice of a date/time that you will retrieve your stuff and come with a friend to witness. Another girl would be best.

Don't. Ask a friend to call her and get your stuff. Better yet. Wait and let her cool off. She could call the cops on you, key or not. And she may have already changed the locks.

Let it go for now. Try to arrange to have someone else get the stuff in a week or two. Good luck.

It costs $35 to change your number so you would have lost $210 just by calling from blocked numbers. A written letter or audio recorded message sent to law enforcement is better.

If you have a key then that’s permission to enter. It’s not breaking and entering, maybe trespassing but again she gave permission and would need proof of otherwise. Be sure she’s not there when you go or else she may be petty and call the cops.

Call the cops, explain your situation and ask for them to escort you to get your stuff back.
