can the storage compaines post a picture of my belongings on the web for everyone to see what I owned? Now I have a risk of my unit being robed or say my employer see's what I owned and then judges me for my belongings and thinking I'm late on bills and could be in risk of being fired . Just like facebook employers fire employees all the time for a post they make. Makes me wonder if its legal to post pic's of a person belongings. Movieman brought this up in one of my post and its got me wondering if anyone has thought of this before.

I'm lost here. What are you trying to ask? Are you behind on your rent? If not they shouldn't be opening your unit for any reason. If they are doing this, I suggest you find a new storage facility.

No Im not late. But some places post a pic of whats in your unit with you name and entice people to come to the storage facity to bid on there unit.

Lol found moviemans post after posting. Clears up my misunderstanding.
I don't really think they would fire someone of their mess in a storage unit, unless that mess contains rec drugs or sex toys displayed up in the front of the unit, but you would imagine that stuff would be hide in a box somewhere in the unit. Also last time I checked defaulting on a bill was no grounds for termination. If someone wants to try that I hope they have a damn good lawyer.

Usually, by the time they start getting notices, their unit has already been overlocked and/or their access code has been blocked. That's one of the reasons we can still buy an occasional locker that has good stuff left in it!

It all depends on the state you are in and the company. Most of the places in my area post the first initial and last name of the person who has defaulted and a snippet description. Others, the full name and snippet, and yet others just the name. Legally they should be posting the name and a brief description of the contents. They may take a picture to send to the owner but I've not found any websites w/ pictures for the facilities in my area.
example listings of upcoming auctions:
#229, Hillary Caldwell: table, radio, computer
Dorn Margaret Elizabeth unit # 348 all content
111: Cornwell, A.-Storage Containers, boxes and chest.

I can tell you from personal experience that when you get into financial difficulties, loss of income, things like groceries, rent or mortgage, gas, car note, car insurance, electricity, phone,water bills take priorty. Everything else gets shoved off the radar screen. It does'nt matter how many notices they send saying they are going to sell your stuff, when you are trying to keep a roof over your head and food on the table, those letters just don't get any attention.
You would think a rational person would take the good stuff out and sell it to make some additional income, but sometimes most of the stuff is personal, family heirlooms, stuff they want to keep, or they have just plain forgotten about how much valuable stuff is in the unit. When you are in a bad financial situation it can get real difficult to make rational decision, and I think we all know from what we find in the lockers that many people were not making good, rational decisions with thier lives before they got into financial trouble.

Thats why people need to start acting there wage And live with in there means. Seems like people want to be the top dogs and be show offs and that is where debt comes into play.

I would think maybe the few sites that are showing pictures of the units may have already seized the units?

They might be seized at the time but still can be paid off the day of or before is what they are telling us at the auction.

Oh ok well maybe they have reached all their legal obligations and rightfully own the unit now but they are willing to still work with the tenants until the last minute

Around our area (Seattle), they cut the locks and a lot of the auctioneers (and sometimes property managers) will take pictures and document what they can see from the door. They then put their lock on it, and the owner can still pay and pull it out of the auction all the way up until it is declared sold. One of the auctioneers does put pictures of those lockers on his website, so when I'm deciding where to go that day, I can see if there might be something that interest me or if they just look like garbage. And technically, the tenants still own the entire contents of their locker right up until the auctioneer yells "SOLD"!

Very true, but there is a huge difference between someones drunkfest pics on Facebook and someones hardship in losing a storage unit due to none payment. I smell a lawsuit brewing if employers are found to be doing this.
