Snake in the Storage
News from Glenwood Springs Post independent reported- Owners of a south Glenwood self-storage facility emptied several units Tuesday morning looking for what may have been an escaped pet python.
However, the snake that one of the Glenwood Self Storage Center unit renters said he found when he opened his unit was no longer there when the city's animal control officer arrived.
“We had a guy come in about 7 [a.m.] who said he opened his storage unit, and the snake was laying there on some boxes,” said Jim Hawkins, who owns the self-storage facility at 3410 S. Glen Ave. with his wife, Ingrid.
“He described it to the animal control officer, and she said it sounded like it could be a python,” Hawkins said. “We emptied three storage units looking for it, but there were no signs of it at all. So, I don't know what we've got.”
Hawkins said the facility does not allow pets to be kept in storage units, and none of the tenants who were contacted owned up to keeping a python.

Size matters in self storage
You all know there are a number of different types of self-storage units available out there in the big bad world, But in order to get value for money you need to ensure that you
really need to consider your actual needs and the type of goods that you are storing. One of the most common mistake made by people is that they assume the typical “bigger is always better”. This tends to lead to people signing up for a storage space, thinking that they are getting a x amount of space for x number of dollars. However, the grim reality is that unless you actually physically use that space, then you are simply wasting your money. so be Wary of this, for a a rough guild click here

Police in Detroit Raid Storage Locker
Detnews from Detroit reported that Police raided 14 storage lockers belonging to the 56-year-old man in whose Dearborn home authorities found 151 dead Chihuahuas and more than 100 live dogs last month.
The search of the lockers at the Secured Self Storage facility on Gulley in Dearborn Heights yielded more than 100 televisions, at least four lawnmowers, humidifiers, about 100 obsolete computers and 8-track tape machines, but no remains of animals, said James Schmier, a Birmingham criminal attorney representing James Lang.
Dearborn police secured search warrants before the raid, which took about four and a half hours. The storage units ranged from the larger 8 foot-by-8 foot units to smaller units about 3 feet by 6 feet, Schmier said.
Wayne County prosecutors are weighing possible charges against Lang. He could face animal cruelty charges for keeping 151 dead animals in refrigerators and freezers in his home and for letting the living animals burrow through the waste and filth accumulated.
