the woman whose husband stomped out and took all the handles on the drawers in the kitchen.

That action was probably symbolic. Of, um... stuff. He's telling her that "you don't have a handle on things!" Or maybe, "If I can't get into your drawers, nobody can!"

OK, here's another theory: This is his way of telling her, "With me gone, things won't be sunny side up anymore! Because you won't be able to fry eggs anymore without the spatula! I mean, I suppose you could, but then how would you get the eggs out of the pan!?!"

or, more mundanely, he just wanted to make her life as inconvenient as possible without doing something he could actually be arrested for.
