You can only sell the property if he abandoned the property. And you may be required to send written notification to his last known address. But if he's simply left his things at your residence and doesn't seem to want them, you can considered them abandoned and sell them. Check with your local clerk of the court at the courthouse. * Wisconsin is a community property state therefore it would need to be determined exactly what constitutes personal property and that is an issue for the court.

You'll need to contact the bank that holds the loan. They will give you contact information for the repo agent, who is required by law to make your personal property available for you. There is generally a small storage fee that you'll need to pay when retrieving personal property, which is allowed by law, and compensates the agent for inventorying and storing the property.

If someone leaves property in your home and they don't pick it up within 30 days is it now considered to be your property?

This is known in legal terms as a bailment. They have left the property in your care, either voluntarily or involuntarily. As the bailee, you are required to provide a standard of care to protect the property until it can be returned to the owner. No, it does not become yours unless it has been abandoned. If they say 'keep it' you can do what you wish. If there has been no contact, the presumption is that it is not abandoned. Consult an attorney in your specific jurisdiction for the law that applies. === ===
