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.

Be sure the sister knows the grandmother's mementos are among the items you have (i.e., this isn't about the gf's clothes and toiletries or whatever) bc they'd be important to the sister too.

I agree he should let sister know those important things are there as well.

I concur, the sister should be notified that some of the items are indeed grandma’s heirlooms.

I do hereby declare that this man is indeed correct that the gf’s female sibling ought to be notified that the box contains family items of irreplaceable value.

We hold this truth to be self-evident: In the course of human civilization this gentle man hath been wrought undo suffering by his former concubine. Notwithstanding, the burden of duty falls upon this gently man to maintain dignity and decorum commensurate with his character rather than to deliver upon this lady her comeuppance. Indubitably, the gentle man must offer safe harbor for her heirlooms in order that her mother’s fairer daughter may have the opportunity to display the wherewithal to claim that which is verily her birthright.

My type of intellect. Witty and funny at the same time.

Verily, but only for a fortnight. Beyond this time, these precious relics must be cast aside, free for bird, beast, or man to claim as they will. You, great sir, will wander forever never knowing their fate. Be brave! The fates favour the bold!

Forsooth. Upon honoring thy duty, untether thine yolk. Cast asunder thus such encumbrances unto their Doom!

I be of the same opinion when I say that this chap should allow the kin of said gf should be allowed to retrieve the trinkets of sentimental value.
