The finder packed the bling box up and brought to his new home?

Context:

While he found the ornaments in 2007, Andreas K. did not report it to the memorials office until after rediscovering the dirt-encrusted objects in a basement box while packing up after selling his house two years ago, said Profil. The soil had dried and some had fallen off, revealing precious metal and jewels underneath.

@oristarA,

In this instance packing up = placing things (household good) in boxes for storage and or transport.
When the goods arrive at the new house they will be unpacked.

Other uses:
At the end of the day at my worlplace tools are packed up. (Placed in their usual stored location ready to be used tomorrow).

I have a car that is old and mechanically unsound. Yesterday it packed up on me. (Stopped runnung). I need a mechanic to fix/repair it.
