Happening from Anaheim Self Storage – Undercover Agents

3/23/13

I was about to close the store for the night, when suddenly I saw a black Suburban pulled right up front our driveway.  I thought it was one of our tenants who has the same SUV.  However, he never comes in at this time and never parks like that.  He always parked on the yellow line.  So I went out immediately to see what he wants.  To my surprise, the SUV had four people inside with headsets and a Lap Top. I looked closely and all of them were wearing bulletproof vests and had firearms. So I asked if I can help them (As if I can do any better).  I also told them that they were blocking the driveway and should park at the designated parking area.  The driver apologized but then added that this is the best spot for them and will only take a few minutes.  I did not say anything, went inside, and started closing the entry doors and ready to call 911.  Honestly, I was scared and thought; what if they held up our store? Then, the driver stepped out and explained that they were undercover agents and was tipped that a marked vehicle will be passing on our parking lot. He also said not to worry because they had the area surrounded and under control if anything happens.  Well, fortunately nothing happened.  On my way out I asked them, if everything was fine.  The officer said, fine and asked if he can park at the corner parking space to observe for a little while.  I replied yes he can.  Then I thought to myself guess we had some security for the night!
