Cops Are Involved In This $10 Abandoned Storage Unit | Can't Believe What I Found!

[@bethbates5165]

Melissa check with your local Animal shelters and wild life Rehabilitatiors and give them the blankets and old towels. You would be surprised at all the things they could use. ...I love love love your videos!

[@Lemonade_Stand_]

Also most cities have recycling/repurpose places that will take fabric/clothes in any condition because they just chop it up and turn it into rags for trades people. It's usually what happens to unsold thrift stuff actually. But ya usually animal shelters are in need of linens (towels, flat sheets and blankets are the main things) but any clothes that cant be salvaged can also be donated to be turned into rags.

[@kathi16323]

Melissa any type on material or cloth items will have bedbugs in it if they are present...it is not only a bedding problem but a whole house problem.,they will live behind your door framing and baseboards ..when the exterminate for them the tent the whole house and bring it to an unbelievable high heat to kill the bugs off.....also any box you buy off Poshmark could carry them

[@theresaciba632]

I was just getting ready to say the same thing it doesn't matter if it's close or blankets or anything else they're going to be in whatever it is so it makes no sense not to take those blankets home and wash them they look nice

[@keisha_renee]

Yes you are so right. When I was 19 I rented my first place and it had bedbugs when I moved in. I had no idea about bedbugs at first. I had bites covering my whole body but had no idea what was doing it. I ended up finding one and figuring out what it was. We ended up moving asap and getting rid of almost everything we owned. I was devastated and also traumatized by that. Now when I buy anything I'm super careful about it. I would never want to deal with that again.

[@absolutelyamanda2942]

I was just going to say the same

[@mariewoodward9713]

I think alot of us had the same idea. Buying these storage units you just never know. As she was saying that she doesn't mess with bedding those angel wings can harbor bedbugs just as easily with anything in that unit. I never had bedbugs thank heavens but from I understand they are hard to get rid of. Not sure how anyone gets rid of them. Just remember bedbugs do not care where they live. They can be in all those clothes

[@Vamparellame]

Yes bedbugs can even be in furniture you buy so it's a gamble with anything used

[@barbaracilley8200]

I am retired now but worked for Public Health. We has a top researcher from the U of Minnesota talk to our staff about bed bugs. You can Goggle them and find a lot of info. With what you do, you should definitely read about them. You can wash quilts etc. but that doesn’t kill them. It’s the heat in the dryer that does. If I came across in, the item or items would directly into the garbage. When I get home, I’d take my clothes off in my garage and toss them or put them directly in the washer. Then I’d head for the shower. Them eggs are very sticky and they stick to your clothes and you can’t even see them. It can cost thousands to get them out of your house. We had staff who had to throw away sofas, mattresses, etc. Be careful kiddo. Even when it comes in the mail. You shouldn’t wear black or sit on the floor. Please read about them. Once you have them it’s to late. Very very difficult to get rid of. Exterminator try but they really can’t get rid of them either. The chemical used to get rid of them was outlawed years ago.

Great point.

[@kentuckylady2990]

Wash the smaller blankets and donate them to a local dog shelter. My local shelter loves them and old towels.

[@MsSamanatha]

Omg I'd be running not me jack I wouldn't be touching not of that junk! Hello Lysol

[@BuffytheRealSlayer]

One thing you could do is take all the stuff to a laundromat and wash it before you even think about taking it into your house. There are chemicals you can get and use that will help. Plus, the laundromat will have bigger sized washers if you do ever want to wash any of the bedding. Yes, you will be spending some money, but better to be safe. ☺️

Hey Mellisa! Lol, I know that Gucci belt is probably a fake, but that belt is selling for $350.00. Would be nice if it was real 🤨 I wouldn't even bring the clothes into my house until they're washed,maybe at the laundry mat.

[@mariagarcia-po6kl]

Hi Melissa. What a unit. I didn't know you were going to buy a unit again. But you have to tell us what happened to the papers you sent to the police. Maybe we can understand what happened to them. I don't look at my photos either. But WOW! What a great score. God Bless you Melissa. Stay safe. Mari'a. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@donnaheater9090]

Hi Maria, Melissa did explain what was going on with the paperwork . If you had watched the video until the end you would have heard what happened. If you go to 41:22, you can hear what happened. Videos like this always spark my interest. That’s how I found out. I hope this helps. 🙂

[@Snoopylyn]

I totally understand your fear of bringing bedbugs home, so keep in mind that the clothing is just as likely to harbor them as the blankets.

[@lazyhazzy4409]

Hi, love your videos. The hat is Fendi, if real worth selling on poshmark. You should have the Gucci and Fendi pieces authenticated. There are sites on line that will do it for a minimal fee. Good luck selling.

[@MeeblesSporella]

Epic video. I really hope you get another storage unit cause I wanna know so bad what happened. That Milwaukee Battery may be worth money too. I know some are expensive but am not to familiar.

[@Nwladylaura369]

Good haul! You could have taken some of the photos out of the frames if any of them were nice. Next time. Glad the unit had some money makers. 😊 Also bring a flashlight with you. It cracked me up every time the lights went out. 😅

[@martithornton241]

My first thought when you started unloading the second box was that the second box looked like it belonged to a different person from the first box. Now it makes sense. That was a lotta, lotta work. I hope you relax and treat yourself after your big projects.

[@JynxyCat84]

I wish I lived closer to you, melissa. I loved that green throw with flowers on it. I would absolutely love to have that.

[@joke_the_kitten4209]

Not just the comforter can have bedbugs, the clothes to! Just wash affected bedding and clothing on a hot wash (60C) and tumble dry on a hot setting for at least 30 minutes. put affected clothing and bedding in a plastic bag and put it in the freezer for 3 or 4 days.

[@lazyhomebody1356]

My advice is- just run!!

[@dianeshover1465]

That brown baseball cap is Fendi. IF that is authentic it is worth hundreds of dollars. I want that Ice cube t-shirt. 😋 Good haul Melissa!

[@kristiphillips7783]

These are fun!! They say start small and work your way up. You did great for a $10.00 unit! I was thinking also it might be time to rent a small storage unit. Not tiny but maybe along the size of what you just cleaned out. Might help you keep your sanity also without the stuff in your house. I hate to see you pass up good stuff due to the lack of space. Shop around and find what is best for you for size and the wallet! Have to still make money!! Love your adventures!!

Hi Melissa, nice haul for ten bucks! I had to deal with the bed bug issue a few years ago due to a neighbor letting homeless people crash at his place upstairs with all their stuff. Anyway, take anything you plan to keep or sell or donate to the laundromat and wash them then set dryer on highest heat and dry for a full hour to kill them.

Melissa I am a former Property manager (apartments) unfortunately I have had some run in with bed bugs with my poor tenants. I hate to tell you that those horrible bugs get into every thing. They may start out in a bed or clothing ( They are wonderful hitch hikers) but also in furniture, including wood, appliances nothing is safe from those evil booger’s! They like to live around their food source and hide in what ever is near like clothing , mattress, bedding , paper items. They can live for a long time without food, warmth. They are hard to get rid of too. Ewww I feel itchy just talking about it. Sorry to tell you if those blankets had a bed bug so would everything else in storage with them and possibly the neighbors lockers too. love your vids❤

[@lonibugge9778]

Bed bugs can live up to 2 years without feeding and just laying hibernation form, and they can also live in things like picture frames.
