Tenant abandoned apartment

My tenant, who was two months behind on rent, decided to leave without informing me. I found this out after going to collect the rent and the door was unlocked and all personal possessions gone. Only things left were leather sectional sofa, flat screen tv, Xbox gaming system, and a nice bedroom set. So I emptied all of this property into storage, and according to PA law, planning to hold it for 30 days and if tenant doesn't try to reclaim, will sell property to try to recoup my losses. Well, I just received a call from Aaron's rental furniture store, stating that my tenant told them to call me regarding their merchandise. I never realized the furniture was rented. All attempts to contact my tenant have failed. I never signed contract with Aaron's regarding furniture. My question is, can I continue with my plan of selling furniture to recoup losses, or do I have to give furniture back to Aaron's??? My thoughts are that this is my tenant's contract and I have no responsibility to respond to Aaron's rental store. Any responses would be greatly appreciated!!
