Context really matters though. Is the storage locker being bidded off because the owner died 5 years ago? What if the last payment was 8 months ago, and you haven't heard from the owner since?

It's a completely different story if you were late by 1 day and they sold all your stuff the next day.

I guess the question here is if DO waited long enough before deleting their droplet. They were over a month late, and I'm assuming they sent notifications....
