I have rented a storage unit from the Scribner location for two years. Let me start by saying for two years it's been fine. At 10:15 this morning, the manager called and left a message telling me that I'd have to pay $300 for the broken door. I immediately returned his call because I had no idea what he was talking about.
I found out my unit had been robbed. They thought I just moved out by breaking the lock off the door, even though they have my credit card on file. I've had auto pay set up since day one. He actually saw the people robbing me and said he thought maybe i had angered my wife or girlfriend.He was actually surprised that I wanted to call the police and make a report.
Cameras were virtually no help other than showing a big Grapevine U-Haul truck and nothing showed up on the gate code report. The manager DID however, remind me that they weren't responsible for anything.
Make sure your insurance covers your storage unit if you rent one. If you have things that can't be replaced, do NOT store them here.
UPDATE:
I just received a call from the owner of Grapevine Storage House who apologized for my break in. He asked me to please clarify and let people know that they are NOT charging me for the damage to my storage unit that occurred during the theft of my belongings. |
