What would you do

I would email her and tell her the box of goodies will be on your porch this Saturday. If the box is not picked up between xx - xx then items will be donated/thrown out.
Or, if you don't want them on your property again, email you will drop off items at a certain time convient to you and leave on their front stoop.
This is something that can be added to our policies. All items not picked up within 48 hrs shall become the property of the daycare.

And whether you decide to do, either drop it off or let her pick it up, keep copies of those e-mails. Perhaps you can print it and put it in her file for future reference. I am fan of putting everything in writing. Then you always have concrete proof to fall back on.

I hope she is not a manipulative person who would come to pick up her stuff and then try to accuse you of it going missing. I know this may be a bit far fetched but i would hate this to happen to you. I learned the hard way when Something like that happened to me. When we had our basement reno's done, there was a huge fall out between us and the contractor. He was slacking on his work severely but kept asking for more money. We finally said no and pointed out all of his deficiencies and he up and quit just like that. When i realized he left all of his tools behind i texted him telling him to come get it all. He tried BS'ing me, like saying he would be here at 6am to pick it all up, or at 9pm or on weekends etc. I agreed to allow his friend (whom i met and who worked here with him a few times) to come pick it all up. While the guy was on his way, i quickly drew up paperwork saying that so-and-so picked up all tools on (date). I also added a clause that said that my husband and i were relieved of any and all responsibilities relating to said tools and that so-and-so (the guy) took full responsibility of the tools. I also took pictures of all the tools and set my video recorder to record our interaction. At first the buddy didn't want to sign the papers saying that he didn't want to take responsibility for anything so i texted the contractor letting him know this. The contractor called his buddy and said it was ok and for him to sign it. He ended up loading everything in his car as i recorded everything. I haven't heard back from anyone to this day, but having known him and his wife, i know if i didn't cover my tracks, they would have found a way to screw me over.

Whoa! Sorry for the rant!
