[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 361913, member: 47"] We have a friend whose job it is to clean out storage units that have not been paid for or no one bid on them at auction - he hauls the stuff to the dump He had 12 to do today, so i went along to help him and SO, (not to mention I was curious ) Don't know if I was more amazed, appaled or sad. One unit was 3 feet high of paper - bills, warrants, collection letters in amongst some clothes and more full bottle of pills than a drug store. Took me an hour to shovel it out. Others had boxes/bags just full of kids clothes/toys and personal memorbilia, others just suitcases of clothes and broken stuff that I wouldn't pay 1.00 to store, let alone 100. Some of it was just plain outright nasty stuff-so nasty I won't even say, but jeeze, if you are going to take nasty pictures of yourself, don't put em in storage.. Came across a box of photographs of someones children, lots of nice frames - just tossed in there - couldn't help think some poor woman will never get to see these photos ever again. They still have two more units to clean out tomorrow - full apartment size units but it just made me sad today and don't think I will go tomorrow. My job was to sort thru the boxes to see if there was anything worth keeping. SO will bring home stuff here and there - we did get a brand new fridge, sofa set and Dyson Vacume but I find myself always thinking about the person who owned this stuff, what happened to them. But I think all of the personal photographs were most unsettling of all Marcie [/QUOTE]
