I live in a very poor ward and we have had a couple of occasions where people have moved into the ward and the address given is a dirty little storage center off of west temple.

Do they rent storage units by the hour?

Someone was using a storage unit at the end of our street in Balch Springs as a meth lab some 20 years ago. They got busted, but said it was a dangerous enough operation that had there been an explosion, it would have leveled our home.

My favorite storage story happened about ten years ago here in Seattle. A guy was living in Pocatello with his wife and kids. He was a salesman in a car dealership. For about 14 years since he met his wife he paid for this storage unit up in Seattle. Somehow the bill paying fell to her for a while and she decided this monthly bill on the storage unit from his prior life was a wasteful nuisance and need not be paid. So she quit paying for a couple of months.
What the storage company does when this happens is aucition contents off site unseen for a few bucks. The proud owner of the contents opened the unit up, and later he described that "it smelled like Vietnam." They found the prior renter's wife and two kids in there. Murdered with a knife and stuffed into garbage bags with vials of holy water tied onto them. The murderer told his in-laws his wife ran off with the kids. They said they always wondered what the hell happened to her.

I"m telling you it's a bit scary. I ain't going round unless the employees are there and it's daylight.

I rented a storage locker last summer, and it never occurred to me to be afraid or paranoid. Now reading this I am thinking I should have been.
