I'm not Catholic but isn't there some statue your suppose to bury in your back yard to get it sell.
I heard something like that, too. Is that what it was supposed to have been? A statue?! Jeez, I got that all wrong, somehow, because I went out back and buried...
Um, never mind.

SpyBunny is right - and you are supposed to bury him upside down according to "custom".
Take up the statue of Saint Joseph and dig a hole in your back yard. If there is no back yard, use the front yard. If there is no yard at all, dig a hole in a large potted plant. Bury the statue upside down, head downward, facing east, in the hole and cover it over. Light a candle to burn continually inside until it goes out.
FINISHING UP: When the property sells, you MUST dig up the statue, clean it, and carry it with you to your new home, where it should be kept in a place of honour. Failure to do this will lead to trouble with the sale or trouble with the new home or property.
I am not Catholic so I am not sure if this works or not...I have a friend who is Catholic and I know her Mom would pray to every Saint known to man and then some I never even heard from. Couldn't hurt.

St. Joseph, isn't it? Patron saint of home, family and carpenters.
Yep it's St. Joseph, alright. Funny, if you google it (I did, for giggles, not to make light of my birth religion, but it all comes across rather Santaria/Voodoo-ish), you'll see all sorts of advice on where, when, how long, how deep, upside-down, right-side up, pointing towards house, away from house, by for sale sign, etc.

Thanks, I certainly had an intersting one: in my FedEx gigging today, I met actor Robert Vaughn, Maurice Sendak and Jim Steinman (who wrote all of Meat Loaf's Bat Out Of Hell songs).
