Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

My husband and I have been storing my step-daughters furnishings and such since July 2012. On August 13, 2016, after she told us to leave her alone-she wanted us to have no further contact with her or her children. She gave us no reason-she says it isn't our concern to just leave her alone. She was told 8/13/16 she needed to get her things. She said she would make arrangements. I emailed her 10/7/16 to inquire about her things. She said many things like dump them in her front yard, she had no truck or trailer, etc. But has still made no arrangements to get them. My intention is to send a certified letter by 11/10/16 giving her until 12/31/16 to get her things. Am I giving enough time and what can I do after the deadline?

Thank you!

Yes, go ahead and send the certified letter as you've suggested (return receipt requested) and then post another question as to what you should do in the event that the new year comes and goes without any action on the part of your apparently ill-tempered step-daughter to retrieve her personal property from your premises.
