texastrophies Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 I can't stand a thief. Went to my storage shed this morning, in a gated storage facility, when I pulled up I looked at the lock and noticed it was not mine. Double checked to make sure I had the right unit. Went to talk to the manager of the place to see if they had cut my lock off and put one on. He pulled up my records and said no. So together we go out to the unit, he asked me again if it was my lock, I said no, he put the bolt cutter to it and cut the lock off. First thing I notice is my 4 wheeler is gone, this is a 10'x30' storage and it is pretty full of stuff, a lot of hunting items, but on further inspection the only other item I could find gone was the aluminum ramps to load the 4 wheeler into the back of a truck. The mangaer has video of the last 14 days and he is going to check it and hopefully something will turn up. The police came out and took down the info, but I won't be holding my breath about getting it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m gardner Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Sorry to hear that. I live here in Mesa, Az. It's pretty bad too. I came from a small town in Colorado and never even locked my doors. I lost lots of stuff in the last 3 years until I learned to properly secure it. One guy did 6 months in jail. Then I had to put the fear into the rest to stop it entirely.:nono: Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texastrophies Posted February 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 That just sucks.....funny that they locked it back up again....maybe they are planning on coming back for more????? Yea, two trains of thought on that. Either they put the lock on it, to make it look normal or they planned on coming back and getting more, or both.

92xj Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 I would say its an internal job. Someone that has access to getting inside the gated facility. Or how else would they get in? Maybe buddy's of someone that stores there. Someone, paying money to store there or the facility owners and workers, knows who did this and when it happened. Start doing your own PI stuff. Not good.

buckee Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Man, how does something like that happen in a controlled setting like a storage facility. It almost sounds like it had to be someone who knew you had a 4 wheeler in there. That sure sucks I hope they've got the jerks/jerk on tape.

Dakota Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Hate to hear it, Jeff. Hope you can find the no-good idiot who did it and get your 4 wheeler back. Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe buddy's of someone that stores there. Someone, paying money to store there or the facility owners and workers, knows who did this and when it happened. Start doing your own PI stuff. Not good. How it happens where I have my stuff stored is that the gate moves very slowly and people will drive through when someone else opens it. Then they wait until someone goes out to get out. During busy times it's hard to notice because several people will come in to move one individuals items and follow each other. They monitor closely now. I'm fortunate and have never lost anything at the srorage facility. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerforged Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Man, that stinks! I personally think they need to bring back public hangings for these miscreants! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowJoe Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 So when does the storage facility's insurance give you your money? Seems that they have to have insurance to operate it and theft of your stuff is exactly why you pay money for a gated storage facility. I'd ask the manager when you can expect your check. Otherwise, what's the point in paying the money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Sorry to hear that Jeff. I too hate thieves:angry:. Hopefully the video will give some sort of lead. Is the facility responsible for anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texastrophies Posted February 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 As mentioned above, when a person enters the gate is open long enough so someone else can enter behind them. As for the storage paying for it, when you sign the contract that is covered in there. They are not responsible and understandably so. If they had to pay for everything that people would report as stolen there would be no storage facilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Well then Jeff, I see no alternative than to form a posse. When should I book my ticket for? You know I have no problem going back to Texas to shoot something. Good Luck Bud. Hope some recourse is found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know I have no problem going back to Texas to shoot something. Good Luck Bud. Hope some recourse is found. Since I've been here in 3 years the police have warned me they don't like vigilantes. then they told me I'd eventually get killed by a tweeker if I kept confronting cretins and throwing them out of the neighborhood. The sheriffs told me I'd need to leave one guy in particular alone and be patient. He's the one that did 6 months. They need to lay off police to make the budget right now and people are freaking out. I just tell them things will get noticeably better when the criminals have to deal with us instead of cops. The criminal justice system has just made things worse in my opinion. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 man that stinks!!! I hope something good turns up on the video! I wonder if your unit was the only one.......Someone HAD to know the 4wheeler and ramps where there.....Otherwise that was one lucky pick for the scumbags that took your stuff..

We've watched them and they constantly "scout" just like you do when you hunt. That's why I confront anybody that I find in our 55 plus neighborhood that I don't recognize. Word finally got around and very few show up anymore. mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
