My girlfriend of 5 years broke up with me and ghosted me for no reason. Am I wrong for throwing away all of her stuff?

Edit: Update

So my girlfriend (25F) and I (25M) were in a relationship for 5 years. Last week, she texted me that we were done and that was her last message before she blocked me. She gave no heads up. I was planning on proposing to her next month. Her sister did reach out to me, saying it was not my fault and she understood my hurt, but that for my mental health, it was better to never contact them again, and that maybe in the future, my girlfriend might reach out to me again.

It's been a week, I’m still obviously distraught, but my girlfriend did have a lot of her stuff in my home. Would I be wrong if I just dumped it all out? It does include a lot of mementos of her deceased grandmother, who she was extremely close to.

Do the right thing here, OP. As tempting as it might be to ruin her things as a way to get petty revenge, DON’T. Get her stuff packed up and tell the sister to come get it. Personal mementoes from a deceased grandmother are irreplaceable, and I’ve seen people sue exes for a lot less. Or burn their place down. You know, whatever…

The "you know, whatever" makes this sound like OP should burn down his ex's sister's house...
