[@Bear4196]

[@wholoveskitty]

@@debralpateart8862 some people do it to save up money to move into a legit place. Better than being on the streets for a while I guess. Search KZbin, you'll see videos of people who are intentionally living in storage units so as not to have to pay high rents. It's illegal but people are doing it. They run electricity off of car batteries for lighting, use a small microwave, a heat plate to boil water for coffee and tea. Some run extensions cords from outlets at the facility if it's an indoor storage facility, but they risk getting caught when they do that. It is, apparently, a thing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/foG5dIeChbOIsNE

Love your energy! I am excited going along with your adventures! I found an Estate Sale this past Thursday while out working my ‘actual’ business (love working for myself these past 20 years, having fun) and went back today on its final day. 8 degrees out and having more fun going through the Farm barns and house! Treasures to keep or sell is my side-hustle FUN!!

[@lesliebrayton8016]

You unwrapping the paper towels! I was laughing so hard!

[@lynnmaupin-simpson1215]

Renee, I would take her medication to the storage place's office. I would leave a note on the locker as to where her meds are. She has probably been off her meds a couple of days if there has been activity by her locker. I would also call her prescribing Dr and let them know. She's been living there quite awhile because there is a screen door on the locker. I bet management knew she was living there. To replace her meds could be quite an ordeal. She will need to go to a county hospital or free clinic. Just the logistics of getting an appointment and a way there is more than I want to think about. Depressed,cold, and now homeless she needs to be plugged into the system.

[@PaperandMoose]

Most, if not all, of the bottles were empty. The tubes of the creams looked like they hadn't been used.

[@Mallratthrift]

I think that's the best thing to do, maybe give her her stuff back or leave it at her docs office. She obviously only had the clothes on her back. That storage guy should be reported.

[@Mallratthrift]

I worked at a mental health clinic , those drugs are for a person with a mental health problem. You would be really helping her out.

[@paulanull8731]

I think she was couch surfing for sleep as there doesn't appear to be a bed or bed roll. The woman here was storing all her stuff for life and beauty/clean clothing. The things to look presentable and not homeless. The Foo Dogs and the fabulous pictures etc. She was using this for her daily needs, clothes, makeup, food (which you will keep or donate to a food shelf) and personal information. Very resourceful of her.

[@fareast_de]

Nice haul, Renée ! 5:22 Just the framed needle work with fuchsias on it is worth thirty bucks or even more. Sad to know that probably a woman lived in this storage unit and couldn´t afford the rent anymore. Greets from GER, U.

[@sherrybeauberry]

That is one of the saddest sights I've seen on a storage locker reveal. I feel horribly for the person who was obviously using that as a makeshift home...the photo book near the wall with the infant's picture on front made me tear up.

[@elizabethsalvage4338]

Where is this person? How long have they been gone?😥

[@RalfyCustoms]

Late to the party here, but yeah someone was definitely staying there, for a good few months too glancing the bill, I've definitely been at a place that low myself, and survived to turn my life around So there's always a hope eh

[@PaperandMoose]

I once was at another storage auction where an electric cord was running from an outlet in the ceiling, down an aisle, and into a unit. The door was open just enough to allow for the cord to not be pinched in the door. Not sure how one lives in the unit (bathroom, heat, etc.).

[@cordiscoscorner]

[@girle5584]

Sad when you think someone was probably living in there juxtaposed with their sweet picture that says "Scatter Smiles." Painful times for many people.

[@ellenguernsey2833]

I don't know... Been one step away from the street more than once. NEVER thought of a storage unit. I think it is pretty resourceful. Not ideal, but safer than the street, I think. We (as a society) need to get more creative about spaces that might help the homeless. Buying up old storage units and installing shared shower facilities, bathrooms and laundry rooms might help a lot of folks.

The framed wood stitching maybe a newer primitive/folkart pattern and considered a penny rug pattern. These often mimic old penny rugs or designs. I love making penny rugs and use as wall hangings or table toppers.

Drug disposal is at the fire stations. Cops tend to question and wonder if you should be detained for more info. Besides they don't do drug disposal unless it is illegal and part of a ongoing investigation etc.

Hospitals also have boxes for disposing of old medications (anonymously) and if your county has a hazardous waste disposal program, they also take it.

You did good for $5 I think I would love to know the story on the person who’s unit it was, something was going on there. Could have been living in it, who knows. I had a girlfriend that rented a storage unit behind her house. Told me the one next to hers this guy rented, he had it furnished with a bed, chair etc. She told me he would come, change, and dress as a woman and set in it and listen to the radio. Seems his wife didn’t know about this aspect of his life My girlfriend and me go up to her storage unit one day to load up for a show and there’s this van parked there, we start loading my truck Door to the van opens up and there is the guy from next door in this black evening dress and high heels. Girlfriend introduces me, I shake his hand and make some small talk We pull out to leave and I see the van door open and this other guy gets out and they go into his unit! OK

Mystic Seaport - I applied for a job there once. The hot sauce hat would sell at the flea. The clothes you'd know better than I would. With those meds, I have a hunch someone stopped using them and lost their job and the unit after living out of it for a while at least.

[@richardhill3580]

All those little nic-naks and chachkis will probably sell for at least a $1 easily. Plus Maybe a costume jewelry bag for $5 as well. You probably have $40-$50 there minimum.(Probably more ) Then there are probably another $40 plus in clothing items that will fit you like that yellow jacket. That saved you another $40-50 if you bought them at Thrift store prices. So you are up LEAST about a $100... plus there is the thrill of the ' treasure hunt'.
