Didn the Lutzes come back and hold a garage sale?
No. There was an auction of their belongings, but the Lutzes did not attend and it was by no means a “garage sale.” Looking back on it, George believes they netted around $1,600 (the low amount was mainly due to repairs that had to be made to their boat, the fact that they still owed over $10,000 on it and that the auctioneer had a 10% take on the auction). The leftover food was donated to the Salvation Army. They gave one of their last office cars to a person at the JFK ticket counter. They got rid of the van due to mechanical problems. They left another car at Father Ray’s rectory and were able to salvage one of their motorcycles.
