Winning bidder with title. How do I handle belongings?
I talked to security/the HOA office and it was pretty clear prior owners have not been around for a while. The office had a key. I entered unit after having knocked vigorously. Yelled "is anyone here". Nobody was there but also no signs of them moving out. House is full of personal belongings; TVs, laptops, etc. Do I need the sheriff to handle (monitor) removing these belongings? I'd like to know what my legal stance is here. What's the easiest way of getting this stuff clear from the unit without opening myself up to some sort of liability?

Thanks Marty. That's the type of answer I was looking for. However, I already knew about writ. I'm curious though if I legally need a writ to remove and store their possessions alone. Doesn't seem they need to be removed as they cannot be found.
