2 years ago my housemate basically just disappeared, leaving behind his car and all his belongings (stereo, TV, personal effects etc). We managed to track him down - he had decided to move from Brisbane to Sydney to chase a girl.
We asked him to collect his stuff and he told us he would within a few months. As this was someone we had known for many years we trusted this.
Over the past 2 years we have repeatedly called him trying to get him to get rid of his stuff. We moved it all into our garage (his car was already in there and we are unable to move it as it has no gearbox and we don't have the keys). We always get the same answer "work is busy - I should be able to get up there in a month ir 2 though".
We are sick of this. We have to park our brand new car in the driveway and we want to move from this house soon. We want his stuff gone!!
We have asked the police and the local courthouse, neither of which have been able to answer how we get rid of it. Does anyone know?

I have also asked a lawyer I know. He didn't know what course of action we could take but advised me that disposing of it could leave me open to the ex-housemate laying charges/civil action.

Get you lawyer friend to write this person a letter telling them that they owe you storage fees for the garage......
sending a bill is likely to elicit a response...
