The way evictions work in my neck of the woods is that the defaulting tenant has 1 day to clear out his stuff, failing that the landlord has the stuff hauled away by the city, who then throws it out.
The chain of responsibility ends there. Everyone can then shrug their shoulders and point at each other.
The landlord didn't throw out anything, he gave it to a "responsible" party.
Perfectly legal.

Dried foodstuffs like beans and pasta, for example. I'd keep salt, peppercorns, and sugar. Seeds, metal tools, 19th century handbooks, cloth, sewing needles, thread, high-power air rifle with lots of ammo and spare parts.
Hammer, screwdriver, nails, screws.
Candles, shovels, canned water.
Basic electrical equipment like wiring, cutters, solder, terminals, transistors, resistors, capacitors, and inductors. The ARRL handbook from the 1960s.
Basic first aid handbook. Alcohol.

I don't know, there are many things I'd value over gold.

Valuing gold assumes all your other needs are addressed first.

Are you going to be OK? What kind of surgery? Can you contact me with my dumb email?
