Don't know Jim, but this reminds me of a taxidermist I know of. Took in a bunch of work and just got burned out and kept putting it off. He would always say the mounts were from last year etc, and before you knew it, it was five years and they were still there. It was like he lost track of time. Taxidermist was a genuine good guy, just hit the wall I guess. Hopefully this is a similar situation and you get your stuff back.
