Georgia Abandoned property

What can a landlord do with property a tenant leaves behind in Georgia?

After an eviction judgment, the writ of possession lets the officer remove the tenant's property and place it on the landlord's land or other approved property; the landlord is not a bailee, and after execution the property is regarded as abandoned.
