More People Using Self Storage. Including Some Weird Ones…

What's In Your Unit?

It seems that self storage is becoming a hit around the US. Millions of people are already storing their belongings and enjoying a clutter-free home. Even the television industry has taken notice and shows like “Storage Wars” are shedding light on the intriguing world of storage auctions. Last year NPR’s This American Life (TAL) devoted a show to a special broadcast on these auctions in a touching segment that only TAL can produce.

Storage facilities are also taking notice of this sudden exposure to the masses and are enabling new technologies in their storage facilities. Both maintaining databases and allowing new options like climate controlled self storage are some of the options available to customers. People can now store valuable items like newspapers and old election material in a climate safe environment, helping them increase in value with every year that passes. But some people don’t need technology, and many people prefer to use their storage for simple household items that carry emotional value. You’re probably thinking to yourself: “I wonder what the weirdest item ever found in a storage was.” Well, you asked and here are the top 5 most unusual items ever found in a self storage facility:

  1. An old embalming machine.
  2. Shoes. Doesn’t sound weird? How about a storage unit filled to the top with a person’s old shoes!
  3. Crocodile skin.
  4. Just like in a TV show – A brand new car!
  5. The ashes of the owner’s dog and a wooden leg (both in the same unit, which makes this weird…)
