I'm mad at myself that I didn't have more balls to claim items as mine when I was there.  I had no idea they were "claiming" things until my sibling texted me asking what I wanted.  I later found out all the things I wanted were already claimed.  I didn't go through the house making a mental note of stuff as Grandma is still alive.  I guess I have too much class.

Why don't you ask them for your dad's bookshelf?

Since it is your father's I am sure they will understand.[/quote]

Me: but that was my dad's bookcase.  
Cousin T: BUt Grandma said I could have it.[/quote]

Send a group email cc'ing all cousins.

Tell them you and your siblings have taken nothing and you only want specific items with very sentimental meanings to them. Specifically mention your dad's bookshelf and tye necklace. Tell them they are welcome to the other stuff.[/quote]
