There is no need to be sarcastic. I intentionally identified that I am not, in fact, a lawyer. And I do remember learning that storage facilities are allowed to auction off contents after a certain amount of time. I'm pretty sure I've heard of this in other circumstances as well. If non-lawyers are allowed to reply on this site, then it stands to reason that some information will be wrong from time to time. Some of us are only offering what we think may help.
Regardless, there was no need to be sarcastic.
