Coly23 - I understand your frustration. I had boxes and boxes piled up in my front porch for nearly 9 months. During all of that time she contacted me once for a single recipe out of there. Heck - I still have a couple of the bigger items out there still that she has said that she still wants but doesn't come by to get.
In my case she finally came back to get her stuff after she and her guy had (apparently) firmed things up and pictures of them were blasted all over Facebook at a high-end resort. I have her recorded on the surveillance video whinging about how she didn't get "all" her books.
Is it a feeling of entitlement? A belief that we are sitting right where they left us? A lack of planning ability? Bats loose in the belfry? I honestly don't know and probably never will.

A favourite author has a character who is famous for running away (literally) In one book he mentions that the important part of running away is the away bit and that the to will sort itself out.
The only one you can control in this process is you. If you want his stuff gone - you'll need to set a deadline and advise him of what you will do with his abandoned property. You're not going to like this next bit though. If you do that - you'll want to consult a lawyer first.
