<human>: I broke up with my SO for the final time last week after an extremely draining and difficult relationship. I implemented NC on this past Thursday. Because he wanted to continue talking and I don't trust myself not to answer, I had to block him on my phone, Facebook, email, and snap chat. 

I've been using his comforter and some pillows at my house but would like to return them as they really belong to his parents, and I don't want to be a thief. He actually mentioned to me right before we quit talking that his parents wanted them back as well. Would it be breaking the NC rule to bag them up and drop them off outside his house? Or maybe next to his car so they don't get stolen off his front porch? Does that make me look insane for me to give him his stuff back while he's blocked? Should I just let it go? We don't have any mutual friends in town,  or I would ask someone else to do it.

Also, we will eventually have to see each other at community/work functions because we're both involved in the same organizations. How should I handle it when I see him out? I am going to try and avoid anything he'll be at for a while, but I know eventually we'll run into each other. 

My other concern related to seeing him out: with one of my ex-boyfriends, I went NC for about four months, saw him out, broke down and contacted him, and then started the cycle of shit right back up again. I do not want to do this here. Can anyone give me some advice on how not to go back once some time has passed and I'm (hopefully) not as ragingly pissed off as I am now? He is extremely manipulative and will take any opportunity I give to let him back in my life, I'm sure.

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: Should I drop my ex's stuff off at his house without communicating with him? How do I handle it (and not go back to him) when I see him out?
