Boiled down and viewed from the PMs vantage point: The only tenant on the rental agreement left the property (breaking a lease or without property notice on M2M?) and abandoned the personal property in the unit. Under law, the LL must store the property for XX days until tenant pays for storage and retrieves the property.

If she intended you to collect her abandoned property, she should have paid any storage costs and provided the LL with written instructions on disposition -- such as "Joe Blow is going to be there on XX/XX/XXXX at X:XX o'clock to move the items." Or if she really intended you to get your things back, she could have devoted a weekend to traveling from Atlanta to Orlando to take care of this in person.

Next time, cross your t's and dot your i's (get your paperwork completed in full and properly) and you won't have these problems.
