    Be careful with Storage Units
    We all heard Pete Sampras trophies were stolen in LA. But if you think that Average Joe's stuff are safe at a Storage Unit you are wrong.




    Thieves Raid Public Storage Units


    CHEROKEE COUNTY, Ga. -- A Cherokee County woman found out the hard way that key pads, cameras and locks weren’t enough to keep her storage unit safe.

    A few days ago, Rachael Brannon discovered the roof of her Public Storage unit sliced open, and two flat-screen televisions were missing.

    Brannon said a Public Storage front desk worker said another family reported stolen items on Nov. 22. Their unit was next to hers.

    “We paid extra money for the security we didn't get,” Brannon told Channel 2’s Erica Byfield.

    She is fuming at how the storage facility is handling the matter. She said she doesn’t understand why the security measures failed her and why no one called her.

    Byfield went to the front desk at Canton’s Public Storage looking for answers on Wednesday night, but a worker said she couldn’t tell her anything.

    Public Storage Vice President Steven Glick told Byfield that the company does not comment on individual cases. He spelled out the company’s security measures, but couldn’t explain how thieves got past them.

    “As the trusted leader in the self-storage industry, we care about the safety of our customers and the security of their belongings. That is why, for example, we offer tough, top-quality steel, secure keyed storage locks and require individualized codes to access floors and interior hallways,” Glick said. “Our properties are also gated and fenced, and managers often live on site. When a crime occurs, we work closely with the local police to apprehend the suspect(s).”

    Brannon said just wants the thief to know he or she stole from her young son.

    “An 8-year-old child should not have to learn that people steal stuff. It's not fair for children to go through,” Brannon said.

            One of the reasons you don't pick your storage facility by price.

                Ya i would never store important items at a public storage location...However, back in high school my friends and I rented one out and just used it for band practice and just playing video games, we had a couch, tv, fridge...we had some good times.
