Chuckie, there's a word that you need to introduce into your vocabulary: SURREPTITIOUS
It's a big word for "sneaky". As those items came in one at a time, so shall they leave. Rearrange the stacks every few days - sometimes without removing anything. Other times ....
I have to do this with some of the odd or bulky items that Katie somehow inherits or collects. If she finally misses an item and asks where it is, I can honestly say, "I don't know."
