The gag, it is running

[dr_whom]

So you'll recall Uz left a load of laundry in the washing machine when he moved out...

and he left his backpack here when he accidentally came over to pick up the laundry he'd accidentally left here....

...Well today, he came over to pick up his backpack, and contemplate moving out his filing cabinet or giving it to the new tenants. He decided to give the filing cabinet to the new tenants if possible, so he started cleaning it out. He didn't finish cleaning it out, but he started. At least he picked up his backpack on the way out.

He did leave his jacket here, though.

I think you may have to insist that he strip before entering the house next time, in order to prevent him from leaving anything else there.

Buy some fruit.

Let it rot.

THROE AWAY THE JACKET.

WITH FRUIT.

He would see the logic.

At this stage I'd be tempted to box up all his remaining stuff and leave it on the porch. If he doesn't enter the house, he can't leave anything else.

I think all his stuff is finally either gone or to be considered abandoned. (I.e., I don't think there's anything left that he intends to pick up or that I don't mind having left behind in the house.)

Also, no porch.

Congratulations?

You beat me to this exact comment (worded differently).
