I read it as, he owes money on a warehouse, and if he can't pay that debt the contents will be seized and likely destroyed.

Why not donate the stuff if he can’t afford to keep them?

If the warehouse has been foreclosed on, there may well be a demand of back-due rent before he can get his property. This is not an uncommon situation. It depends on the contract signed, but the owner of the warehouse may very well now have possession of the complete contents until back-due rent is paid. This is very common in rental storage units in the US, as well.
