landlord has to "store" tenants belongings after eviction?

Well first time I ever had to evict someone and the courts sent me a paper and also the sheriff who did the eviction and said I MUST store the tenants belongings/personal property for 10 days. If they do not notify me I can get rid of them BUT if they notify me within 10 days I MUST give them 30 more days to get there belongs.

Anyone else have to deal with this? 

I thinks its ridiculous since I have a judgement against them for $2200 and now I have to work with them and their belongs.

Here you have to store the belongings after they have been at the curb for more than 24 hours .  It always amazed me how the stuff disappeared by the next morning . And the tenants said they didnt come for it . 

Schedule your eviction the day before trash day , put it at the curb , when the trash men come , smile , grease his palm and watch the stuff magically vanish .
