It would cost you less then $150.00 a month to pack it all up and send it to her. Just have it hauled to your aunts. Send her a certified receipt requested letter that she take care of it by a certain day or it will be sent to her. Include a bill of the charges you have incurred to date. I doubt you will see any money from it but the headache will no longer be yours.
Alternativly you can tell her if it is not picked up by a particular date that you will be going to court to have the property considered yours due to abandonment. Get the truck off the work parking lot and put it on your own or ask a neighbor. You would be considered the landlord in this case.
Look up NRS 118A.460 For Nevada. You only have to keep the items 30 days.
Specifically:
NRS 118A.460 Procedure for disposal of personal property abandoned or left on premises.
1. The landlord may dispose of personal property abandoned on the premises by a former tenant or left on the premises after eviction of the tenant without incurring civil or criminal liability in the following manner:
(a) The landlord shall reasonably provide for the safe storage of the property for 30 days after the abandonment or eviction or the end of the rental period and may charge and collect the reasonable and actual costs of inventory, moving and storage before releasing the property to the tenant or his or her authorized representative rightfully claiming the property within that period. The landlord is liable to the tenant only for the landlord?s negligent or wrongful acts in storing the property.
(b) After the expiration of the 30-day period, the landlord may dispose of the property and recover his or her reasonable costs out of the property or the value thereof if the landlord has made reasonable efforts to locate the tenant, has notified the tenant in writing of his or her intention to dispose of the property and 14 days have elapsed since the notice was given to the tenant. The notice must be mailed to the tenant at the tenant?s present address, and if that address is unknown, then at the tenant?s last known address.
(c) Vehicles must be disposed of in the manner provided in chapter 487 of NRS for abandoned vehicles.
2. Any dispute relating to the amount of the costs claimed by the landlord pursuant to paragraph (a) of subsection 1 may be resolved using the procedure provided in subsection 7 of NRS 40.253.

http://www.leg.state.nv.us/nrs/NRS-118A.html#NRS118ASec450|||Wrong, it cost me $2000 and 5 days to move it from texas to my house.. The movers quoted $5000. I dont have five days too move it back just because she has temper tantrums.. I have decided to contact my dad and let it become his problem. They are not divorced yet, so this way i can wash my hands of the whole mess. Thank you for your answer though.|||First and foremost, great job for being there for your mother and helping her out. It sounds like she is going through a tough time and isn't thinking clearly. I do not know the details of what exactly happened between her father and your wife, but right now she appears to be struggling emotionally and psychologically. I am sorry to hear about the position she has put you in financially and how she is treating you after what you have done to help her.
Sometimes, people overreact and it takes them awhile to come around. It sounds like you have been trying to communicate with her pertaining to the items she has left behind. I would try to explain to her calmly the position she has put you in and what the next steps will have to be if she does not respond to your outreaches. It sounds like you have tried to make this transition easier for her, but now you are suffering with the open ends she has left behind.
If you are not beyond frustration, and want to keep the peace, I think trying to contact your Aunt would be the next step. Explain the hardship that your mothers' things are causing for you and what you would like to see happen and in what amount of time. Then you could state what your intentions are if there is no response. For the car, you could see if there is another place to park/store the car to buy some time until you make contact. If no payments are being made, it may be repossessed in a short matter of time anyways. Unless, you were interested in the car and you could work a deal out to keep it. For the storage, it may be feasible to talk to the storage company and explain the situation to see if they would cut you a deal. You could let them know it will only need to be stored for a short amount of time and ask if they could offer you a discount. You could also ask if you could keep the car there for a short amount of time. If that does not work, it may be possible to relaocate her belongings to another location: your house, cheaper storage facility, a free standing storage shed, restacking/reorganizing, etc.
These are some options if you want your mother to have a chance to get her belongings back. She may just need some time to think and realize what has happened and how it is effecting the people who are trying to help. I always try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and time to reflect and simmer down. She may be having a type of breakdown and needs to have someone to support her, even if she may be acting out of character right now. You are still her son, and I hope she supported you at tough times in your life, where now you may be able to do the same for her until she can find more stability. If you are at wits end, you can always call your Dad. I hope this answer has helped in some way, shape, or form. I wish you and your family the best of luck.
