tHE thing is.....that office would have been cleared out of all personal things, which would have been boxed up, set aside pending a family member coming forward eventually, for a certain length of time, before disposing of them completely, whether donations, or the dumpster. The office would have been cleaned, washed down, etc. and eventually assigned to or occupied by someone else. But, that would be real world, not Salem, which has it's own set of rules, habits, ways to do things.
