    Stolen Property (501 Mini Storage UNSECURE) UPDATE: 8/28 - Manager informed investigating detective that the gate malfunctions when it rains... so is ANYONE'S property safe???? I have been using this storage facility since May 2023, as it was highly recommended. The storage unit number assigned to my space was 034, of which I stored a TRAILER on this property. The location is directly located next to the entrance/exit, of which they have security cameras directly observing. The trailer was parked between approx. 637pm-7:10pm; on Saturday, Aug 19, 2023. Noticed it missing at approx. 930p on Monday, Aug 21, 2023. Upon my arrival at EXACTLY 8:30am on Tuesday, Aug 22nd, I informed management of the missing trailer, of which there was ABSOLUTELY no empathy, or sense of urgency to assist with the location of the trailer. At which time I called law enforcement to assist. Upon their arrival, I discussed my concerns with law enforcement how the manager was failing to disclose information and intently avoiding to provide assistance, as the manager turned off the monitor, so I was unable to view. When the police officer conducted his initial questions regarding the when/where/why/hows - he was met with the same nonchalant approach as I. He inquired of the usage of the entry codes; of which the manager did not provide any documentation - yet told the officer he didn't see any abnormal entries - but then commence to share the scenario of it being a rather busy weekend and kids moving in/out and it's hard to manage. When the police officer inquired about his video recording system, he was told that he was having problems with the system and was unable to pull footage, then told the law officer - he would not assist in any capacity without a warrant. ABSOLUTELY NO COOPERATION!!! I'm not sure if the lack of support indicated this was a theft conducted by the management staff or maybe he's aware of this type of pattern. Are you telling everyone that their property is not secure in your SECURE facility? Cameras don't work?? SECURE code access is NOT secure??? I have notified my insurance company, have been in contact with the investigating detective and most importantly disappointed in the lack of support, empathy or assistance from your staff. This was not at all what I expected when enlisting the service of your facility! ... Read more

    Rented a 10 by 10 from them for a few months, not only are they really affordable, they’re super reasonable. As long as you let them know you’ll have your belongings out around you payment date, they’ll refund you or cancel the payment. Definitely recommend if you want cheap and reasonable company. ...
