Oh WOW, that is nuts. I agree with the suggestion to pile it in her office. But, you'll need to make a few trips, that is a lot of stuff.
I would dump it on the curb outside her office and send her a text telling her it's downstairs. I wouldn't haul that stuff around one minute longer or do her the favor of even taking it inside her office.

I would take one small item of hers up to the office, and tell her you're leaving the rest of the stuff in front of the office, so if she wants it she needs to get it NOW.
Why was she carting all this crap around in her car to begin with? Does she not have a closet? Or a trash can?
I think it was in her car from when she was moving from one apartment to another, and then got too busy at work to finish moving things inside. And then the car got impounded. And...well, you know the rest.

Just trash it. I wouldn't bother trying to take it to her office. I don't think it is worth causing a scene at someone's workplace. I also wouldn't go through it because given how long you have been carrying this stuff around I am concerned you will see something that you may wonder if it is valuable and then hesitate all over again about throwing it out. Put it on the curb for the next trash drop-off.

That's actually what I just started thinking about. The new boy has offered to pitch it for me on Friday when he comes down, so I think I'll take him up on that offer.
Actually, my sister and her FI finally showed up last night, and he drunkenly offered to file a police report saying my car was broken into and all the stuff was stolen. I (drunkenly) may or may not have seriously considered that option as well.

I don't remember what your relationship is with this person. Will you have to interact with her again, after this? Friend or coworker or anything? If not, fuck that noise, she blew you off, her shit can rot in a dumpster. Or, how about ransom notes? Cut off like a sleeve of a shirt and email it to her and tell her if she wants to ever see the shirt again she will pick up her stuff and also send you small unmarked bills.
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."

We were coworkers, and I *thought* fairly good friends, i.e. we hung out outside of work fairly frequently. But once I stopped working there, all communication kind of stopped. Actually, it kinda stopped from everyone. The place is pretty insular, and people tend not to stay friends once they leave. I was actually hanging out with another former staffer today, who had the same experience. All of the current staffers or super close, consider themselves family, etc, etc, etc, and the former staffers are all really close, bonding through the pain, etc, but there really isn't much mixing of the two. Interesting, really...
Anyway, yeah, i doubt I'll have much interaction with her anymore. I'm working on learning to let go of those people who make my life worse, putting the neutral people in a neutral place, and working on nurturing relationships with those people who make my life better.*

I'm not gonna lie. I am totally mad at you ( or as mad as one can be at someone they don't know on the internet :. WE TOLD YOU!!!! At this point, you have to keep the shit for 2 more months as your punishment for your wimpiness!!
ok, I am loling, for real (not at you). WHO DOES THIS???
Take it to a nearby curb, prop a nice pretty sign on it that says "FREE STUFF", snap a photo, and then text it to her. And don't answer your phone for a while :-)

I like this idea, but only if you still reserve enough to burn. It's therapy, afterall.
Post a listing to freecycle. Then email her the link.
I love this.
You could spell the whole story out too, about how some crazy girl you used to know (cue Gotye) left all this crap in your car and then just started ignoring your messages. It could be epic. The kind of thing we would post in here on one of those crazy craigslist threads.
What's in that pile of crap anyway? Can you get any great photos out of it?
I hereby solemnly swear to take lots of fun photos to place in my forthcoming freecycle ad, in which you'll be able to read the gloriously sordid tale in it's entirely.
After which, of course, I'll be sure to post the link here, so it can live on forever in CE&P (seriously, that acronym SUCKS!) infamy.
No trashing, burning, or freecycling for me (and I just signed up for an account, damnit!). Girlie JUST got back to me and it looks like I'll be giving her her stuff back tomorrow.
