a storage lot cannot legally dispose of property without first making a good faith effort to contact the owner of said property. the owner of the storage lot must make a court appointed attempt every 6 months for 3 years. after 3 years if no contact is made through the courts a state will issue a title for said property or a legal order of disposal. otherwise the property cannot be disposed of!!
know this because of a prior storage owner told me the clause if i ever defaulted on a storage unit of his! of course there are auction procedings but that is a different realm. those dont involve cars!!
me things someone is pullin your d!@#!! have someone local visit the yard with the guise of renting a storage space and have them instead check to c if the cars are there!! i bet 99% they are all present and accounted for!!
