text: how long do we need to keep a dog-house for someone who bought it at a yard sale, and hasn't gotten it yet?? we sold a huge dog-house and a different hard rubber dog kennel to a guy at our yard sale at the end of september 2006. he paid for it in full. on the second week of our sale he stopped by to make sure we weren't selling his property.   it has been sitting on our front yard since then, and the landlord said the snow gets shoveled to that spot in the winter. it is now the end of november.   how long should we wait for the new owner to pick up his property? what is our responsibility? he never left a name or number...just said he needed to get a truck to haul it away.  p.s. we live in the state of minnesota and the snow is coming soon. if you know who the buyer is, call and tell him he has 24 hours to move it or it goes to the dump.  if you don't know, put a written notice on the dog house that at a certain time and day, (give about 4 days) the object will be removed.  if you didn't specify a time for removal when you sold it, be prepared to give the money back.
