My fiance left on vacation and asked me to hold onto to some of his stuff. I told him I could and then 3 weeks into his 6 week vacation he dumped me. I have given him 72 hrs to have someone pick up his stuff but he has not. Can i throw it out? There was no money involved in this nor a written contract.
When my bestfriend got mad at an ex-friend-with-benefits, she took his bag of stuff, put it under the tire of my car and told me to run over it. I did. A few times. Maybe 5 times. The crunching noise sounded great! She got great satisfaction from that.
He left his stuff at her house so basically, it was hers right?

Money or no money it's a bailment, however casual, and it could very well end up your word against his word.
Destroy his stuff and there's a good possibility you will find yourself in Small Claims Court.
I think you have to send him a certified letter, get a receipt, give him a reasonable time period. If you know he's out of town I don't think giving him 72 hours is going to seem reasonable to the Court.
On a non-legal note: as tempting as it is, I wouldn't stoop to his level - he wasn't honorable but that doesn't give you license to behave in the same manner.
And purely on a personal note - Is this the guy you participated in threesomes with? Sounded like he was looking at other pastures then, he was looking for something he didn't have.

what do you think is a reasonable time fram? he is not due to return till the 16th. he has made things hard for me and i'm not willing to help him anymore.

At least until he gets back in town - do you know when he's coming back? I'd write him a letter and give him 72 hours following when he gets the letter.
If, for example, you know he's coming back on Monday, arrange for delivery on Monday and demand he pick up his stuff before Thursday PM.
OR pack it up and deliver it to a friend or relative - it's work for you but it would get rid of his stuff quickly and easily.
OR I've seen this work but you're out of pocket at first - pack it up, place it in a storage unit (the most reasonable you can find), send him the certified letter and tell him if he wants the stuff he'd better pick it up because you aren't going to pay any more and if he doesn't it will be auctioned off.

And then be grateful you're done with him -
Do you think i could just send his attorney a certified letter to relay to him, giving him 5 days once the letter is recieved to have a relative or friend pick up his stuff. I'm definitely not packing anything up or putting anything in storage under may name. I mean we made this verbal agreement once while we were together. now that were not the agreements we had before are broken. I should be burdened with him when he is not burdened with me. I am very upset. obviously.

Sure, if you're willing to handle things this way have an attorney take care of it - 100% guaranteed you are within your rights and the laws.
Absolutely.
(I would imagine you are upset - but you seem to be thinking it through and not everybody does that.)
Thanks for your help everyone. Yesterday after i got off work I made a visit to my dads friend who is an attorney. He let me know I could basically do whatever i want with his things as long as i give him atleast a 72 hr notice. my ex's attorney called me and just asked me to send a certified notice that i was going to relinquish his items upon the end of the 72 hr notice after he recieved the certified letter. As soon as i finished typing it out my ex had someone on their way to pick up his things. I was so happy until a skanky girl in short shorts arrived to get his things with a funky attitude on the phone with my ex the whole time. But atleast he's out of my life now...
