We own a self-storage business with our home is connected to that property. I have had people start snooping around our building jiggling locks, They are usually met by me with either a .357 or a .40 on my side, and a large German Shepherd on a short leash.
If they try to recover property from a locked storage unit, it is theft from a business becauseI have a lien on every single thing stored ina storage unit, it is part of the lease to defend ourselves against delinquent accounts.
So if I were to let them repossess anything, they would be stealing from us.
IfI see them trying to open a unit, I do not know their intentions and they are confronted by me and at least one of the pooches.
Even if they have a court order to repossess a vehicle, they do not have the authority to take it out of our building because we hold a lien on it.
If they care to satisfy that lien, then they can have the vehicle. To Date not one piece of property has ever been removed from our customers storage units without direct permission of the renter. And it is going to stay that way.
Sadly, 50% of our units are currently filled with property from people that had lost their homes to repossession in the last 24 months. They've been through enough already and that property stays locked up with only them having access to it.
