“Good grief. Use some common sense.”
Are you asserting that the Navy did NOT stop paying for her storage in 2010?
Are you asserting that the company did not seek permission from the Navy to sell the goods?
Are you asserting that the company did not try to reach the owner of the goods?
So yes, use common sense. The Navy f’ed up and started the whole mess.
Everything you posted is conjecture at this point. You have idea what the facts are, but the bottom line is the storage company would be an idiot to think anyone in the Navy could or would be authorizing the sale of personal belongings in a personal storage locker.
Sheese.
