What do you mean “I don’t have a way into the garage” ??? Is it not your house or what?

Most garages have a regular door and a liftable garage door for driving your vehicle into the garage. If you’re able to afford to live in a rich area, you should be able to hire someone to come move the furniture out there for you and then you won’t have to worry about anyone coming in your home.

Don’t do it. You’ll just enlighten the criminal underground about this previously unknown and untapped rich area you live in and all hell will break loose.

Uh this is silly. I sold a 3300 sq ft house full o’ stuff and a huge basement full o’ stuff two years ago on craigslist. Only one person ripped me off for anything, my Kindle, while I was getting her kid a free musicbox unicorn from the garage. Bitch! She probably couldn’t read well enough to use it anyway.:smack:
