Also, just remember that these tools have financial value, even if you couldn't use them, you could've sold them. This should be taken into account when divying up things, I would think. A $500 spanner does not equal an old $150 bed, for example.
Stay strong, ACJ. This too shall pass and will be but another event in your life to chalk up to experience, if a somewhat horrifying one. BTW, thanks for checking in on my thread. Appreciate it very much.
I love Naej's advice --- these deserters can't just come back after a few years and suddenly feel they can just 'walk through the house'. Get him to make the list, and put the stuff on the front porch (or wherever) and have a police officer present (as a witness) at the time of the appointment. If he is more than an hour late, then he should make another appointment.
Take care.
