What about getting a friend to take this guy out of the house for the day? A friend who can offer to give a ride to a town/event an hour away and then have car trouble?

I have moved in the middle of the night. I did not take much, but I did not have much. Where you have lived in this place for so long, the idea of getting a group together sounds very good.

Would it be possible to rent a storage unit and start moving your stuff into that piecemeal? A friend of mine just did that to get out of her place quietly.
