Maggie and Carol were planning on moving to a new location and needed to store their belonging for a short time while they worked on the new home. On August 3, Maggie and Carol hired Walking Dead Moving & Storage to ship their belongings. Walking Dead Moving & Storage prepared a detailed inventory of Maggie and Carols’ belongings, loaded them on its truck, and received the belongings at its warehouse, where they would be stored until either Maggie or Carol asked that they be moved. Four months later, a dispute arose between Maggie and Carol and the Walking Dead Moving & Storage. Maggie asked Walking Dead Moving & Storage to release their property to a different mover. Maggie and Carol had prepaid more than enough to cover all charges to that point; however, Walking Dead Moving & Storage refused to release their goods and held them in storage. Walking Dead Moving & Storage allowed storage charges to build up for 18 months, and then sold Maggie and Carols’ property under the warehouser’s public sale law. Maggie and Carol sued Walking Dead Moving & Storage for damages.
