Our storage unit was broken into at some point in the last week to ten days. I will update this review as time goes on, but today I'm fairly upset. My husband was on-site to return our Christmas decorations; it's a Saturday at 12pm. Someone should be in the office at Midgard but apparently not. The virtual assistant is a joke. Husband demanded a live person. At first it seemed as if he was SOL because it's a weekend. He insisted on speaking with an actual human. Took forever. Once a live person was available they advised for my husband to come back Monday or try calling the office then as no one is available today. Husband told individual to get someone on the phone before he called the police. He was going to call them anyhow but wanted to give Midgard a chance to show up and actually be of service. A customer has just experienced a theft of their property at your facility and you think it's ok to tell them to call back/come back later? How is this remotely acceptable?
Once my husband made it clear that he was going to raise hell if he didn't talk to someone TODAY, the representative he spoke with advised him to go into the office and obtain one of the key-locks and place it on our unit (they took owner-supplied locks off about a year ago and replaced them ALL with digital locks they control! They let us know this in one brief email along with yet another notice they were jacking up prices, again!). So he did. Takes pics of everything. Rep tells husband to call the police and gives him the contact info for their insurance company. Husband said the Midgard-provided lock appeared undamaged and functioned properly when he got there. It wasn't until he tried to open the roller door that he realized there was an issue. Things had been ransacked to the point where the state it was left in, caused the roller door to jam. He had to lay on the ground in order to get leverage under the door and push stuff back, to open it. Spring and summer tires are gone, storage totes emptied, boxes emptied ... so much is missing. A priceless wedding gift is gone. Our youngest is a World Cup athlete and some of their irreplaceable sports gear is gone. How the hell did this happen? I saw another review where the customer mentions wire fencing/mesh ceilings. So I asked my husband to photograph and video the ceilings. He said it doesn't appear to be cut or vandalized. How else does someone break into a unit like this? I'll let this play out. They say they have security camera everywhere, yet another reviewer who just went through this states when management was questioned about footage, it's magically unavailable.
The police are on their way. Our own insurance requires us to file a report with local LO.
I have a detailed and itemized listing of everything in our storage unit and will be taking the inventory with me tomorrow to go through and see what else was stolen.
In the interim we'll be reaching out to local media to inquire if anyone else has reported theft at Midgard, as well as asking the police.
Midgard ... do the right thing. read more
