spare bedroom??!?
Can I move into your house?
Maybe put my HOUSE into one of your spare bedrooms?
Just the stuff that he hauled out from my closing office

about whatever you left there. The landlord can switch

claim it as his own and the courts will laugh you out the door.
Just because you decided to play lazy does not mean that we can't bid in

bid on it because we at least know it came from a reputable person.
He is contesting the "conversion", and making notice that he
contends that it is "STOLEN" merchandise. Knowingly accepting
stolen merchandise (if he should prevail) is, indeed, a crime.
Accepting stolen merchandise UNknowingly is not a crime. However,
if a court rules that it was stolen, then it must be returned
to its rightful owner. Any purchaser who UNknowingly accepted
the stolen merchandise is not entitled to compensation for the
return to the rightful owner, and can merely attempt to collect
back from the seller.
OTOH, if it were to get purchased by a shill, he might be able
to regain it.
