How can u Polar Align when u can't see the sky?

Sorry, if you're looking for answers so am I.

I have an Autostar GoTo LXD75 mount and a backyard that allows no view of either east or western horizon below about 60deg and southern and northern horizon below around 40deg. How can I polar align?

Yes, I know the obvious one, get off my fat you know what and move, but I'm looking for something else. From what I've read drift aligning really needs stars near the horizon as well as straight up?

Would a GPS help? Maybe a polar aligment dance, hell at this stage I'll try anything
