What Are Some of the Strangest Items Found in Storage Spaces?

Self-storage spaces are convenient, easy to use, and provide a great way to store your extra items. Behind the doors of a self-storage unit, you might find furniture, treasured valuables, and a variety of other items ranging from the everyday to the extraordinary. Have you ever wondered about some of the strangest items that have been found in storage spaces? Let’s take a look:  

Aretha Franklin’s Clothing
Oftentimes, the clothes and items that are worn and treasured by celebrities will be put into storage for safekeeping. For example, when a storage unit in Michigan was opened, it was discovered to contain items from Aretha Franklin’s amazing wardrobe .

Space Technology
Due to the secure and climate-controlled environment of storage units, they sometimes contain amazing pieces of technology. In a storage unit near Cape Canaveral in Florida, bidders at an auction found a NASA rocket and countdown clock. This amazing space equipment had been stored after the NASA program they were used for was discontinued.

Forgotten Treasure
When you purchase a self-storage unit from auction, you can unearth a long forgotten fortune. That’s what happened to a man in San Jose, California who purchased a storage unit for $1,100. When he opened up the unit, he found half a million dollars that had been anonymously left behind.

A Burglar
In Missouri, police investigating an attempted robbery found the thief trapped inside a storage unit. Apparently, as he fled the scene, he sought refuge in an open storage unit. A security guard noticed that the door was ajar, and latched it shut. After calling the police, the burglar was removed from the storage container.

This is just a taste of some of the outlandish items that have been found behind the secure doors of storage units around the world. If you are looking for a clean and secure place to store your most treasured items, contact Pouch Self Storage by calling (888) 258-9626.
