Personal property left inside of Auction.com property...throw away?
Hi BP Community-
I recently purchased an Auction.com property at the courthouse steps. When I went inside the home I discovered a lot of "trash and debris" left behind (as seen in a typical foreclosure scenario). The previous owners apparently gathered up their "valuables" and abandoned the property prior to the sale. While I don't think remaining contents have much value, I don't want to deal with a lawsuit for throwing away someones stuff. For those who've dealt with this scenario, please let me know if there are any legalities I need to follow before disposing of the contents.
TIA,
Bill
