Send her a letter, sent some way or ways you can prove delivery (e.g. certified mail and also as an attachment to an email or text message) stating that she left belongings at your home, briefly restating the history to date (when she left them behind; your efforts to reach her to have her pick them up) and stating that she has 30 days to pick them up or at least set a firm date to pick them up or you will consider them abandoned and dispose of them. Send her a reminder at 15 days. Then if she does not arrange to get them, you can dispose of them.
