Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Michigan

In Michigan, Can a plaintiff get a judgement to be able to take possession of a defendants storage unit at a storage facility? If so, will the defendant be notified in a manner where he/she would not have the opportunity it move and hide the items before the plaintiff goes to the storage unit. If the plaintiff can't personally take the items in the storage unit and a sheriff or court officer has to remove the items, can the plaintiff be present to ensure the items are not stolen or misplaced as they are removed?

Normally, you have to get the judgment first. Then you submit the Notice to Seize the property. The fact that it is virtually impossible to get a pre-judgment garnishment or attachment does make collection difficult.
