Where to store things? Realize heat rises. Your garage, hot as it is, is cooler than your attic.
Access to the attic is also limited. Most of the fold down staircases are not very safe. Power staircases are available for like $3,000. Wrapping them in plastic? Fabric, old bedsheets are a better choice. Depending on the plastic the luggage is made of and the plastic used to wrap they can amalgamate-stick to each other.
Have you considered under the bed?

We lost a really nice and fairly new suitcase by storing it under the bed.
I decided I didn't like the odor it had from previously being in the attic a short time, so when we came home from a trip I decided to store it under the bed. As the original poster said, it was too thick, so I opened it and slid it under the bed open. Didn't take my cats long to find that and prefer it to their beds, so I threw an afghan in it to collect their hair (and make it more comfy, truth be told) so we could use it again. Welll... that never happened...using it again. Because now we felt bad to not only be leaving them, but to take their preferred sleeping spot. This was also a factor to be considered when we looked for a new mattress and framing. It always has to be high enough to accommodate their bedding and an adjustable bed is definitely out! So...guess who runs THIS house?
