Many years ago I was faced with the same situatuon. Moved to new place and left 2 cords of CSS dry wood at old place. I knew the person who moved in , a single school teacher, and told her that was my wood, don't burn it, as I'll come and get it. She did not listen and started to use it, which pizzed me off. One day when she was in school, I rented a truck and took it all. Guess she burned furniture after that to keep warm.
In my state, once the property is signed and closed for, whatever is left behind becomes the new owners property. A verbal agreement would never hold up.
No, no, it was my wood, and I was only renting the place like the school teacher. Agree, guns be a blazing if you steal my wood. My friends are envious of my stacks and always threatening to come to my place and help themselves when I'm away. I tell them I have the pieces secretly marked and have ID chips in them...so don't try it.
Sorry guys, for whatever reason, the forum isn't sending me alert emails anymore and I forgot about this. So to kind of answer the questions I saw more than once: 1) Given our health situations, my wife and I trying to move this stuff is a hardship but not impossible. 2) Given our tow limit and trailer capacity, I think it'd be 4-5 total round trips to move all the wood. 3) We'd have a tractor at the old place to load the IBC totes onto the trailer but at the new place we'd have to unload by hand and re-stack by hand. 4) As noted, I'm not 100% sure it's all that good of wood.
I would still <want> to move some of it. <health situation> is one hell of a trump card though. Any kids around willing to make a couple bucks ? <financials> are one hell of a trump card, too,
