It's Ironic that you should bring that up, if you are referring to the case in Nashville TN, then that lady is one of my oldest friends "Becky". It is true that she loves to hoard stuff forever. Somewhere in that collection of stuff is the dress "and the original box and wrapping" I gave her in 1984. Her hoarding makes her look guilty "in the eyes of the media" although I have never known her to steal anything. After she is found innocent, the counter suit she will win, will make her a rich woman.
I also suffer from hoarding disorder to a lesser degree but I acknowledge it and it is a day to day struggle.
I was laid off from a company 4 years ago and i have been able to pay the rent, bills etc. just by selling off my excess, Logan
