Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Pennsylvania

Small Claims Case from 2006

I took my ex bf to court for 4k back in 2006, he postponed the first case and never showed up to the second one so I was automatically granted judgement. The only thing is, he lives in NY and I live in PA. I won in PA. Can I still pursue payment on this case? He and I are obviously on bad terms so I cannot reach him to get payment. Also, if I cannot get the payment owed to me, I wondered if I am entitled to the furniture I purchased he has in storage out in PA. The furniture cost was in the judgement but if I was unable to retrive everything owed, I was wondering if I can at least pursue getting at least that much. Thank you!

You want to get a writ of execution from the Court where you have the judgment and have it served on the storage company as a garnishee. On the sale date you will have to make arrangements to have the property removed from storage and transported.
