Storage in the new garage would be likely. Same reason we brought two bookshelves with us to Maryland almost forty years ago.
As a note, people keeping something doesn't mean they're hoarders.
This.
I have a full set of kitchen cabinets in my garage for tool storage. It was one of the first things I did after getting the garage cleaned up and painted.

Agreed. Re-tasking old kitchen cabinets in the garage is a great way to add storage space and organization.
And no, they weren't attached. Just sitting on the floor against the wall, as I didn't plan on hanging them knowing that we would be taking them with us when we moved.
I guess you've never slept in a hotel with sheets that have been used by literally thousands of people before you.
Hotels have a particular standard to wash and maintain their sheets (I would hope). This lady does not know me or my level of cleanliness ( I think that I am very clean).

I thought that was very weird.
This is something that I think is purely mental. It's like when we as a society have a problem with using secondhand undergarments.
If you properly wash and treat items, what is the harm really? And the woman in your situation could have cleaned the sheets afterward herself . . . she didn't have to immediately sleep in the bed and use your sheets upon closing.
That said, I would--and again going back to the mental component of things--also find it odd, but that's based on cultural norms and the such as there is no real hygiene issue if you wash/treat these items properly.
We are in contract now. I actually emptied my house and placed my stuff in storage prior to photographing and listing.
The first thing the buyers did when they walk in was ask if we could leave the stools at the island lol.
We sold a house 5 years ago and had the similar issue with buyers wanting everything, even our SHEETS (gross!) Some of the stuff we had no issue leaving because they wouldn't fit our new house or were bought at a thrift store.
My husband and I brought back some beautiful beach stones from vacation which I had in a bowl with a piece of drift wood on a table. The buyers start nitpicking close to closing demanding that we leave the stones. My husband wanted to give it to them too. I told him I would rather throw them in the garbage it was the principle and they were being greedy. Once we told them buy the house with what is in the contract or scram they calmed down. Some buyers are ballsy.
They did call after closing asking where I got my sheets because the room doesn't look as good with their sheets. lol I told them I bought them out of state lol.
this is one of the things one might consider when FSBO'ing.
