Would You Forget What You’ve Got in Storage?

Let’s suppose you pack up eight boxes of assorted items and rent a storage unit from us here at Lok ‘nStore. Once they are safely stored away how long do you think it would be before you opened them again?

You’d think it would be impossible to forget what you had in storage. Yet in truth, this is actually very easy to do. It all depends on what you have stored away though. For instance, if you have every single piece of memorabilia celebrating Star Wars that has ever been released, well, you’ll know what you’ve got stored right there. Similarly, if you use your storage space to store your entire paperback book collection you’ll know what is there.

But if those boxes hold a myriad of different things, all from different rooms and points in time, how would you ever remember what was there? Unless you kept a list or packed them so carefully the contents weren’t mixed and every box was clearly labeled, you wouldn’t stand a chance.

Some people also leave their storage spaces untouched for long periods of time. Then one weekend they decide to go back and see what is there, just to work out what they could possibly have there. And that’s when the reminiscing usually starts. This is great fun especially if you have someone else with you helping out. Who knows what you could find in boxes you packed away months if not years ago? There could be all kinds of surprises there that would be worth looking at.

So if you think you would never forget what you had in storage, think again. You could actually lose track of stuff very quickly indeed if you don’t come back to collect things on a regular basis.
