My question involves personal property located in the State of: Florida

Over a year ago, I move from Florida back to New Jersey. At the time I was living with my boyfriend in his mothers house. To say the least, the relationship did not work and I left the state and went back home. At the time the break up seemed amicable and we remained friends and continued to do business with each other. When I left FL, he drove me to NJ with a truck full of my belongings. I was supposed to rent a uHaul and pay for his flight back. However, that changed before we left and he insisted on driving his vehicle and I agreed to retrieve my items at a much later date. At this point I was just happy to be back in NJ and him going back to FL and NOT being under the same roof. I moved in with my mother temporarily until I was to move out west with family. I am in a financial bind and am still looking for work, I don't have much since I lost my job.

Being he was to travel a few times to NJ he agreed to bring the items to NJ on his trip north and I would reimburse him the money for fuel. This never happened. I then attempted to try to make arrangements to pick up my belongs when I could. He then mandated who was allowed to come with me to pick up my things and when. Always seemed to be when I was working (I freelance). I was also not even allowed to have a family member come with me. This is when things went sour, it was like he was holding my belonging hostage and the harassment and cyberbulling started. He has been blocked on FB and on my phone, however he is NOT blocked on my business email as he still does business with the company I do freelance work for. This has been going on for a year.

I have finally been able to make arrangements to pick up my belongs in three weeks, as I will be in FL working and have transportation to bring my things home.

Email I received tonight from him is stating that he has removed my belongs from his mother's home and has already put them in a storage unit. He is claiming he put it there and has not been paying the bill and is going to go to auction. He is claiming he has an Atty and that this is all legal.

Is this legal? Can he do this? Am I about to loose my belongs that are still in FL?
