I live in a neighborhood where I cant store my car hauler, camper or dent repair equipment trailer at my house. So about 5 miles from me is a "seems very nice and safe" self storage facility. I rent 2 covered outside parking spaces there. The manager said "This covered parking is new and security camera's will be installed in a week or so". Last May I was at a friends wedding and I get a phone call from another tenant that stores his boat there saying: " Do you have a National Dent cargo trailer?" I said yes, he said "The side door is wide open on it and it looks like your lock has been cut" So I hurried down there to check on it. When I get there, the tenant that called met me and said "Look! Someone has cut a hole in the fence and must have gotten in that way" and they walked right to my trailer, cut my lock and got my Generator, toolbox full of snap-on tools, and a kerosene heater (About $1500 in stuff). I am pisssssed. The tenant also said "Did you know you can push the front security gate open by hand?" I said WHAT?! So I went to the gate and sure enough, I pushed it open by hand. I went to see the Manager and said My equipment trailer has been broken into and some things were taken..She said "Oh yeah we had a break in.." I asked..WHY DIDNT I GET A PHONE CALL THEN?! She said Because we are waiting to see how many people noticed their stuff missing" I said WRONG ANSWER! You better get on the horn to everyone in this place to see it they have anything missing! Any by the way, you can push the front gate open by hand! She said "Oh really? Hmmm..I better call to have that fixed" and I asked Can we view the security camera tape to see if they caught it? Guess what. No security camera's have been installed. So I call the cops and do a report, blah blah, and the mini self storage's insurance company sends a letter to me basicly saying Sorry about your luck, we arent responceable. So I was out of my stuff and nothing was ever done. My car hauler, 30ft 5th wheel camper are still stored there with no more problems.
Tuesday, my Birthday, I went to check on my camper (I try to weekly) and soon as I drove up, I noticed my 16x8 open dove tail car hauler is GONE. I just dropped my head. So I drove around in the storage looking for it. Nope. Gone. I check my camper and its ok. I look around for security camera's that were supposed to be installed A YEAR AGO. None can be found. I head to the managers office...then stop, get out and PUSH THE GATE OPEN BY HAND AGAIN!!!!!! I went to the office and said I've had my car hauler stolen! Of course this is a new person in the office and I have to tell her all about this story over again. I said This is the 2nd time I've been ripped off at this place! And I said Where are the security camera's the place was suppose to install a year ago when I 1st rented here? And you can push the front gate open by hand! The manager said "Uhhh we paid to have that fixed" I said well its still broken!! Cops come, same report, and now waiting to see what happens next. The cops also witnessed the gate being opened by hand. Guys this place is a very nice facility, concrete, huge place. But its no safer than a open parking lot. I'm moving my camper this week. BE SURE TO CHECK ON YOUR STUFF!!! and get insurance! READ your contracts.
