It ain't going to be you, that's for sure. "Can you tell me how to get to this stranger's house for which I have a key? Steal stuff? No never!"

Try digging down until you find foundation. Depending on age of your house and the quality of prior owners* the beds may have filled up over time with decomposed mulch and need to be emptied out anyway.
*as a rule, are schmucks who couldn't DIY themselves a hole in the ground... as you will be too, to a future owner 😉

When we bought my current house, we had two major emergency fixes to make.
Reseat a toilet leaking around the flange and....
...put safety cables in the garage springs.
My dad said "do the toilet; it's going to take longer and the water damage is a bigger issue than springs that haven't broken yet and probably won't anytime soon."
He was right, reseating that toilet took forever and we ran out of time. We left the house via the garage door, and as it was coming down THWANGGGGG.
Motherfucking spring let go and danced all over the garage. Thank God we weren't inside. Replaced all the springs, added safety cables, and no problems in the 5 years since.
