Whuffle and I talked about this last night and she pointed out it's illegal for them to deny you the chance to clean out your desk yourself,. They can watch and have security there, but you have the legal right to do it yourself.
Your ex boss bent and broke a few labor laws and she may be guilty of trying to prevent you from getting work in the industry, which is in and of itself illegal. It's why "no compete" clauses are unenforceable.
Skreeky already covered most the other points Whuffle made in the conversation I had with her this past weekend.
On a side note, a lot of the things she's been saying behind your back would constitute slander. I'd like to second Skreeky's recommendation of talking to an employment lawyer.
