Junk removal took stuff I didn’t want to get rid of

I had junk removal people come today to take away all the junk. When they went into the basement to pick up something to throw away I showed them the alcohol I had in the top portion of the wall bar. I wanted to get rid of all the bottles there. They said yes so I told them to take them all. I was standing there watching them take stuff out but then left upstairs so I wasn’t in the way when more guys came downstairs. Big mistake that was. After the junk removal people left and I went to the basement I saw a door slightly open in the bottom of the bar. It was closed before. I opened it all the way to find empty shelves. They should’ve had stuff there. Stuff I never intended to throw away. There should’ve been a beer glass, four or six (forget exact #) small coffee cups with saucers, and a Tiffany box with two glasses inside (my wedding gift). There was also a small champagne bottle there from my wedding with my wedding label on it. And another one from my cousin’s wedding. I can’t believe they took that stuff. All I asked them to do was take the alcohol I showed them. I never told them to open the bottom doors and take stuff from there. I called the junk removal guy and told him about it. He managed to find the Tiffany box and one of his workers brought it over. It wasn’t in ideal condition. I didn’t yet unwrap the glasses but I hope they are not damaged. Later, he found the beer glass and the coffee cups and saucers, except he only found two. I wonder where the others went. He dropped them off to me himself. The beer glass seems fine and the coffee cups as well, however, one of the saucers has a small chip on it. I am disappointed that I don’t have the two champagne bottles and all the coffee cups and saucers, but I’m glad that I have some of them back at least, and the beer glass and, more importantly, the Tiffany glasses. I really do hope they’re not damaged. I wish I had never left the basement. They wouldn’t have taken that stuff on my watch. Lesson learned. Either stay with them the whole time they are taking stuff out or do not have stuff you’re keeping in the same place as the stuff you’re throwing away. Oh, and they did a little damage to the wall when they were taking down the dresser from the third floor. They were careful but not careful enough. I thought they were gonna completely take it apart before taking it down the stairs to the first floor. All they did was remove the doors and drawers. The total of the junk removal was $525. That seems like a lot, but they took a lot of stuff away. It would’ve been a pain in the butt, trying to get sanitation to take it all.
