It was worth a pretty penny. Ended stuff by cussing each other out and blocking. Have a spare key to his place he doesn’t know about. He isn’t currently there. What do

Well, a B&E is pretty much always a bad idea, imo. My advice would be to hang on to that key and try to discuss a repatriation of goods with him. You two could work out a way to do this with minimal face-to-face interaction if things are still a bit too raw. You can then “oh, I just remembered about this” the dupe key back to him.
If this doesn’t work out, then a B&E stops being a bad idea.
If you’ve got a a key, it’s just E. No B required.
Fair enough, although I don’t think the police would much care about this detail if charges were pressed:)) That’s why I suggested trying to solve things amiably first, it’d be a nice little exculpatory element in case things fall apart and OP is required to… procure their stuff directly.
Although this does raise a good point, in that OP may even try involving the police should their ex refuse to return their things, although they’d require proof of ownership for that…
I think your advice is right, definitely better to settle it with consent if possible
If that doesn’t work out, B&E becomes an even worse idea. If you ask the guy to get your PlayStation back, and he says no, and then the PlayStation magically disappears from his locked apartment 2 weeks later, who do you think they’re gonna come looking for?
If the person says no in the first place, that can be considered theft/illegal appropriation of private property. I can’t see it being worse to access an ex’s home with the spare key to retrieve solely what’s appropriate in that case.
