[quote=Anonymous]We don't really know the exact details of how this all came about, so is it possible that your relatives who live closest to your grandmother's house took the large items simply because they had the space to keep them?  And since they have to store them, they'd take what was useful or meaningful to them. Renting a local storage unit costs money, and someone would have to pay the rent on that monthly.  Shipping is expensive and isn't realistic to do unless you know someone really wants the item(s). What they did may not have been motivated so much by greed, but practicality.

No one will know what meant the most to you unless you tell them.  The only way you'll stand a chance to get anything is to make your wishes known to them and ask (nicely) if you can have it.

But you also have to go into this acknowledging your grandmother has all these relatives besides you and there are only so many items.  Unless you and your grandmother discussed it ahead of time, you may not have gotten what you had your heart set on anyway.  And maybe your relative will end up giving you the item you wished for sometime in the future.
