That’s really suxks..and he paid 3000+ … But he’s too young to handle it…and he didn’t tell the ppl he’s a KZbinr….because that will make a huge difference…

[@PamMinnick]

What he had done was it was staged to get high bids and then they would get the money that was left after the storage company got what was owed to them. They want the policy changed so that the people who default on their unit don't get any money back after their unit is auctioned off, it would go to charity instead.

[@cindycrist5829]

Sounds like she is guilty. She offered you full refund yesterday, but after calling cops and are filing charges. She sounds guilty!!

[@pamelamontuori4717]

Seems to me these officers don't care since you got your money back! The deception will go on from my viewpoint. Thanks, Rob, for trying to protect other investors. Sad 😞

[@shopiefraccount9782]

My thoughts exactly. How does just getting money back stop the fraudulent business practices? Must contact a detective for an investigation. Is there video surveillance of the unit. Don’t let this go or it will continue and there will be countless victims. Pursue

[@OriginalNethead]

They may care, but if the police are being overwhelmed, a victim who has his money back isn't going to be high-priority. All I can say is I hope the thief got a pile of empty jewelry boxes... and soon gets a criminal record for his/her pains.

[@famousamoso7]

The problem is that since he was refunded the property is no longer his and he no longer has claim to it. He should have waited until after the investigation was over to get refunded because then it would have been theft of HIS property and been in his hands.

[@tomk2147]

Rob call your district attorneys office for the county the facility is in and file a report, then let them do their investigation into the issue. If someone is accused of committing a crime, it is not the police but the DA who has the sole power to decide if criminal charges are filed and the severity of those charges. The issue will this apply to the present management company or the previous management company, or the employees or the owner. When you say you have the key then the attention will be on you.

[@markgoody4118]

What with Jeremy's scam unit, treasure hunting with Jebus scam 63 empty boxes and now this, it seems to me that there are far too many storage facilities scamming/stealing from auction customers. That manager definitely looked guilty, perhaps the police should search her home for the stolen goods?

I'm in southern Ontario, Canada and on occasion have bought a unit at one of the local storage facilities. I've never heard of some of these scams...I've even gone to "Lost Luggage" auctions in Toronto and never heard of it. It certainly is enough to make me pause and wonder if spending my "play" money and taking a chance is worth this new risk....Thanks Rob, for your content, I've seen you a number of times on Jeremy's channel (along with Conkie) and enjoy your channel as well. Keep up the great content and I really hope you get to work this out AND get your items back (or at the least your money back, although I get that that's not the issue.)...anyway, peace out, from Doc in the Great White (now kinda green and really wet) North of southern Ontario, Canada.

Wow, I am so proud of Rob. Basic conversation is this: Here's a picture of the unit at the auction site. Here's a picture of what it looks like after I paid. Items are moved, items are missing. This is not what I paid for." Pictures don't lie. Gee, why is the woman suddenly so nervous?

[@robertdadabo9076]

Sale bag is gone, tiles were moved, brown jacket or whatever it is next to speaker is gone and the speaker itself has been moved, yellow Tool bag is missing, and the other tan jacket that was on top of the tiles is also gone.

That's NOT how you run a business and I wouldn't even want to rent a unit in fear they would get break in and steal my stuff if they saw something going in they could cash in on. Your doing the right thing by reporting this, if anything the police have it on file so if it was to happen again to someone else, they will see its not the first time of a possible inside job...

[@mattbuyshouses]

“I’ve been doing this 15 years” has become a new drinking game! Bro, did the storage facility do you dirty? YES! Should they be punished? YES! Do the cops care if you’ve been doing this 15 years or 15 minutes? NO! Facts - stick to ‘em. You have the before pictures, and when you opened the door you can clearly see things are missing. Yup, I’m with you 100% there. Take pictures, lots and lots of pictures. Document everything. I know you’re not pissed about the auction money, that was refundable as soon as you saw it wasn’t as advertised, the facility knew it, the auction company knew it. The thing is, this DOES happen all the time, the lockers do get pillaged, the “little guys” do get defrauded. Can you stop it? Probably not, but I applaud you for trying. I stopped buying lockers in 2008 for this very reason and unfortunately I never got my money back. Video cameras were only on the gate and the office, nowhere near the units or alleys. My word against theirs. I lost. All that said, the only argument I had with what you kept saying was how you’ve been doing this for blah many years… nobody cares. Doesn’t matter. Isn’t pertinent to the facts of the case. Again I applaud the idea that you might be helping others down the line by getting these crooks caught tho. I hope it all works out. Wishing you the best!

Insist they watch there security cameras to see who went to the unit after it was photographed . Or allow you to view it.

If that guy is the only one that had access to the unit he's the one that took the stuff out of the unit unless he left the unit at some point and walked away and came back and then I would say the guy set it up to be taken. I wouldn't want to be him

[@famousamoso7]

It should be a standard policy that every locker have photos taken for said online auction and a photo taken of the locker showing official (in this case storage treasures) tag on the locker along with normal lock. And should that tag be tampered with in any way prior to the winning bidder arriving the winning bidder is refunded 1.5x his fee and the storage company is then docked a penalty fee by storage treasures. This would prevent any site from conspiring to commit theft of items. And unless the site reports the theft to police it would be clear/cut policy.

[@rachelb-prospero8]

Definitely watch for people that have only had units for a short time before defaulting

[@rebeccaleeper4570]

Just like you, everyone needs to report. Especially if it is a habitual someone will be held accountable. From the thief up to and including the owner. Deal like this has to stop. People need to not only be responsable, but also be accountable for their actions. Good job Rob.

[@vtredneck8349]

I think the owner took pictures with the good stuff. They got everyone to bid you left he came cut the lock as he thought he was being slick and needed money for drugs. Usually when people steal they have an underlying condition of substance use and their habit/s have become bigger then they can afford.

There are some storage places that have a policy where they only take what is owed and the former owner of the unit gets the remainder. set up and retape high end empty boxes purposely default on the unit. so the unit will get high bids and the bidder gets screwed..

I have been thru that and watched management cutting locks and going thru units before taking pics for the sale. They steal all the time.

[@HopeLoveMatters]

They unpacked garbage from a different unit and put it in your unit so they didn't have to pay for the dumping fees.

[@sbates]

Sounds like the storage unit business is a good racket. Does the state have laws on how On Line Auctions are handled? I would think each state would have laws spelling out how units can be disposed of if unit is unpaid. Laws or rules should protect the owner of the facility as well as the buyer of the unit. If the owner can't oversee employees, their licenses should be removed and not allowed to own other storage units. Hiring a management company is a joke.

[@Atonement-]

the other problem (probable problem) is what's missing before the picture is taken... the only way to combat this crap imo, is to have like random "secret shops" where an account is setup, then purposely put into default, then auctioned off with complete inventory check at the end..... that's not going to happen most likely.

[@f.k.burnham8491]

I knew of one storage facility owner that would go through the units before they were auctioned off. He actually told me this, as I was asking him about bidding on some of his units. I decided I did not like his ethics and honesty. Didn't deal with him again.

[@menow7851]

Somehow..... I look at it as the owner of the facility....You sign a rental agreement and then for 3 months you ignore my pleas for you to pay the rent.....Yes, I'm going in and taking what I want & I can haul your junk to the dump or auction whats left & free up my rental space so I can collect rent again. But I cannot post pictures to drive up an auction price and then remove items. That's fraud. Jebus bought a 4K unit & 65 boxes were taped up empty. Items worth real money to make bids higher. Its criminal but cops too busy...sad. Buyers beware.

She's feeling guilty because she finally got caught and doesn't know how to hide it! Go get them Rob!

The items that are missing could also have been used to stage the unit to drive bids up.
