They should take their stuff over there.
ex. She went there to look for her missing bag.
Their is a possessive adjective, used before a noun to indicate ownership by three or more persons.
ex. Their bags were found hidden under the boy’s desk.
Using both: She found their bags under the boy’s desk when she went there for a look.
Their bags are left there in the room.
The cat there has eaten their fish.

There = objective
I asked for their orders and they all wanted the special.
Please put your coats on the rack over there.
“Their” is used to indicate something that belongs to them as in “Take all of their clothes”
There is also “they’re” which is short for “they are” as in “They’re getting robbed”
So all together now:
“They’re naked, standing over there, after their clothes were stolen”
Thanks!!
