That could have happened to me. Does the storage company cover your loss?

sorry for your loss Jim.............thieves need to be put in bars or vice
versa!

dark blue or light blue?

were any other storage units broken into?
do you need to open up a locked gate to get into the facility?
don't they have security cameras set up to video tape the units? does this
facility have proper protection?

when I rented storage units I needed/wanted to purchase extra insurance.

I will keep my eyes open here. ;-)

Unfortunately, no. As they have no way of verifying what is stored in
the unit ("Yeah, they stole $1.2 million in gold buillion and a rubber
duckie."), they have no liability.

Kinda in-between... think Dallas Cowboys silver-and-blue.

I made a walkaround of the property... three other units were missing
locks. I opened doors and saw they had property inside... notified
property owner of such.

No, it's an older property with no security fence. The sign says,
"Smile... you're on camera!" but I can't see any sign of visual
acquisition devices.

Thanks, guys!

Have you got homeowners or renters insurance ? Lots of times they
also cover things you have in storage.

I know of one of those self service car washes that the same sign
plastered all over. The owner was a friend of a friend and he told me
that all of the cameras were fake. They looked real so you never
really know. When was just out of school, I managed a King Kwik
Convenience Store. They had these signs that said proctected by
Dictograph Security System. Most of those cameras were fake. You
would have thought that they would have invested a little money in
actual real cameras. They did have one odd one that was actually a
poloroid camera. You pulled a $2 bill from under a money clip in the
cash register and it started shooting.
