I hosed out the garage today and took some stuff to the storage unit. I put the key in the lock, turned and pulled the lock into two pieces. WTF?! I knew immediately that I had been burgled. I went to the office just around the corner and told the owners that my lock had been cut and I had not opened the unit yet. She followed me back and I opened up the unit, saw all my good stuff missing and let out a major blue streak. She witnessed my outburst and asked, "were you robbed"? I wanted to say, no, I just cuss a blue streak every time I open my unit and see all my stuff tucked safely away. some people are slow to catch on.
As it turns out I am shy several thousand dollars of tools and sporting goods.
Officer Stadanko was busy taking reports elsewhere and didn't show. After three hours the storage owner called the cops off till I get off work tomorrow. Hopefully my homeboners insurance covers storage units. If They do, the good news is that I have replacement cost, the bad news is they severely prorate and pay the difference after you buy the item and produce a receipt. Then they will increase my premium. Bastages, thieves and insurance.
I'll know more tomorrow.
