Here is a serious question......

Although I can't be positive I would bet the bank sells the items left if they can. Other than that they probably pick out what they want first. I hope this isn't happening to you?

I think sometimes they sell it, if it's worth a decent amount of money. Otherwise they just toss it. It's kinda sad. Maybe there are some places that donate it, but they are more interested in making money than in giving things away.

I would agree they'd sell your items or put it curbside. You could always put the items in storage or in store your things at a friend or relatives home. I hope you are not going thru this, I'm sorry if you are as I totally understand how rough it is out there.

They throw away whatever is left behind inside the house when really they should donate it to better causes. I know this because my uncle used to work as the person who would empty and clean the foreclosed houses. Sometimes though he would try to take home some things he could collect. One time he brought a really beautiful nightstand. Anyways, I was angry to hear how things that were once precious to the individual who lived their, were being thrown away like useless items.
