Question:
Can I leave all my chometz (bread, pasta etc) in my house if it is sealed up and locked in a cupboard and it is sold to a non Jew?
Answer:
If the sale to the Non Jew is done it is permitted, however there are many people that don't sell real chametz to a non Jew. This is because many do not take the sale seriously etc.
