For several years Mike and I have had a storage unit. I am sure we are no different from most - it houses mostly JUNK. Mike and I had not been there for several months to years - in fact Mike has not been there since we "moved in" to the unit, and I have been there only twice in at least 4 years. A few weeks ago Mike decided we needed to start cleaning it out. Since we have also been remodeling, there is a HUGE dumpster parked in my driveway SO, what better time to dump trash out of the storage unit! So one Saturday a few weeks ago we had some spare time and decided to do just that..... We drove to the storage place and went to our storage section. Mike said "what number is it?" to which I replied "825". We drove to 825 and Mike said "Are you sure?" I replied "No. I didn't think it was this far down". We took a better look around. There was only one unit to the left of 825 and since we knew ours wasn't this far down we omitted it. The units to the right of 825 were numbered 823 and down. 825 and 821 were the ONLY units that did not have circular locks on them. Knowing ours was "not this far down", we opted for 821. Mike said "where's the key?" I replied "I thought you had it". Back home we go to retrieve the key only to find the key Mike had did not fit ANY lock on the block! SO, we went back home for ALL of our keys, knowing that one key fit that lock". We ended up with four key rings full of keys and to our dismay not one key fit the lock.
This may have been a problem for some, but not me. I persuaded Mike to take me to Ace Hardware where I got a cutter and new lock. I could take care of this problem. Back to the storage unit we went and cut that lock of our unit. We opened the door and lo and behold - the stuff in the unit was NOT ours!
This may have been a problem for some, but not us. We called the owner and confessed our crime - this of course after texting our kids to let them know if they couldn't find us we might be in jail for breaking and entering!
Until next time
