The Miller ropes Bo and drags him off, not only with Mary and Joseph's bed rolls and clothes, but as Joseph said "I left the money with Bo". When the Miller drags Bo into the manger, Bo suddenly has nothing on his back, and it's never explained where where the stuff belonging to Mary and Joseph went.
