They heavily advertise that their cameras and gated access makes their site secure, but apparently it's not. The recent break-in at my unit, which the security cameras missed because they weren't covering my area, just shows how poorly things are handled here.
To top it off, not only did the cameras fail, but I also found out that they never gave me the information about self insurance, that was supposed to be provided when I rented the unit. As a first-time renter, I had no idea I could get my insurance. The thieves took about $8,000 to $10,000 worth of stuff.
If the security was solid and they had told me about insurance, I might have had a chance to recover some of it. It's frustrating that I found out they didn't provide the self insurance brochure at the time I rented the unit, or inform me that my unit was not covered by video. On top of that, I forgot to lock my unit during the chaos of going back and forth to move things into storage. I trusted that IF anything happened their cameras and gated access would help deter a break-in or at least assist in providing proof help out the police.
To make matters worse, they acted very nonchalant when we informed about the situation. They didn't even bother to call back when they said they would when they got a chance to look at the cameras (which took a couple of days). The complete lack of professionalism is appalling.
I'm really disappointed with the lack of security and responsibility at this mini storage place.
