Yeah, keep it, if he starts dicking around and accidentally 'forgets' several hundred dollars worth of hardware, I'd use it.
Like whoever said, don't sell it, keep it and use it.

But yeah, keep it, use it, make sure he knows you've got it though.
If the stuff is not in the way, keep it.
If it is in the way, send him a message to come pick it up before you toss it in the garbage. That way he can hardly hold you responsible for not holding on to his things while he was off ignoring you.
If he really considers you a friend, he'll be back eventually. I've seen this happen too often with (first) girlfriends and 9/10 people eventually came back to apologise for neglecting their friends. Your friend won't mind you holding onto his stuff and using it in this case.

Sounds to me like there's nothing else you can do. It's his responsibility to pick it up so you really shouldn't feel guilty, especially after reminding him several times. I wouldn't claim it as your stuff but you may as well hold on to (and make the most of) it.
I agree with these two. I've been in similar places with my best friend M; when they're playing that "my partner is my world" crap you just have to let it run its course and hopefully they'll get back to their senses. In the meantime, enjoy his stuff, if he wants it later he'll come back, and at least it provides a reason for him to contact you when he gets tired of being alone (and the girl dumps him, as she probably will if he's now solely dependant on her and she has any sort of self-esteem. If not, well, she's probably crazy and eventually it'll fail anyway. We hope.)RaphaelsRedemption said:
Had a similar thing happen, back when I was in high school.
A guy was in our band, he didn't know how to play, didn't want to play, he just wanted to be "in a band". I let him play my other guitar for a month, but eventually he bought a guitar from my mate.
When we finally kicked him out of the band, he went absolutely berserk, and cut all ties with us. In this berserk rage, he forgot that he had forgot his guitar at my place. I tried, but he wouldn't speak a word to me, so after a few months, I just rang my mate up, and asked him if he wanted his old guitar back.
A happy ending for my mate really, he sold a guitar for 400 euros, and got to keep it.
My advice? Just hang on to the stuff, and use them yourself. Don't sell the stuff, just so you can retain the moral high ground, unless you desperately need money.

What person leaves a computer, a PS3 and a bass guitar at a friend's house anyway? I'd understand one, maybe two, but three valuable items?
Send him a registered mail asking him to get his things, if he doesn't wait for it and have fun with your new stuff.
