The "long awaited" garage break in photos.

I've just phoned him up
Me "hello, is that Clive Sunderland?"
Him "yes"
Me: "hi, I'm calling about the garage at Boakes Drive, it's got a load of your stuff in it"
Him: "oh that, ha ha ha, did they ever sort it out? I didn't think 32 had a garage."
Me: "well I've looked at the land registry records and it belongs to me"
Him: "oh right, the garages were empty and it was a free for all at the time, we just helped ourselves"
Me: "ah right! Do you want any of the stuff in the garage"
Him: "oh no, I took what I wanted and just left everything else, you can do what you want with it".


So it looks like a result.

A little bit of Ebay, a little bit of keeping some of it.

Did you tell him that his name and number are on MSE and we all want to be his friend?

That number's not his though.

Oh... and if you don't need/want/can't sell the stuff then Freecycle it

Tom,

glad it worked out for you. I wonder who sort out the legals and got the garage put on the deeds?

You could bill the previous owner for the costs of disposing of the stuff!

You should seriously consider removing the names and your address from the pics/ comments. 192 people have looked at this thread already; you only need one nutter!

What an entertaining post!

Thanks Tom for brightening up my evening and congrats on your garage, now it's official!
