Storage

I just got a call from the manager of the storage facility we send $50/mo to keep our extra things warm and dry. It went something like this:

“Ted? It’s P here from Bla Bla Storage. Were you in your locker yesterday at 3pm?”

“…no…? I was at work.”

“Oh well it seems that someone was by your locker. I can see that on the security video feed that there’s someone by your locker and a few minutes after that, someone went out the back door, which is labled in big black letters “DO NOT EXIT – ALARM WILL SOUND”. And of course, the alarm went off and it cost us $75 to get the security gaurd down here. We usually pass this cost onto whoever set off the alarm.”

“Well I have the key and I was sitting at my desk all day. Does not your security system log key swipes?” The reason we went with this company other than being crap-dragging distance from the apartment, was that it had (supposively) RFID at the front door and at your own locker. Secure!

“This particular entry seems to not have been logged.”

“Has my locker been compromised?” I’ve sit up from my workstation into a near upright position. This sounds serious.

“I could check.”

He hasn’t checked my locker?! He’s more concerned with who’s going to get the $75 security gaurd charge?

“Call me back if there is a problem.”

Ten minutes later he calls and quickly says: “P from the Storage locker! No problem, it was the furnace cleaner! The furnace door is right beside your locker. Sorry to bother you!”

Expect a rather large garage sale soon. I don’t think I want to keep my stuff there any longer.
