Ex-Employees Allege Storage Owners Sold Renters' Belongings — 'Disgusting' Secrets Revealed

Former employees have shared alarming allegations that storage facility owners sold items taken from renters. An anonymous poster, guido_pilot, says coworkers confirmed the theft-and-resale scheme and that the same practice occurred at another Granite Bay property. The poster quit, reported the claims to Rocklin police, and was told action would be unlikely unless theft was witnessed. The story appeared amid a broader thread about workplace misconduct and consumer trust.

Note: Some posts have been edited for clarity.

Allegations From a Former Employee

An anonymous former employee using the handle guido_pilot posted that they discovered belongings missing from a storage facility where they worked. According to the post, when the worker asked a coworker about the missing items, they were told that the facility owners routinely sold property taken from renters. The post also claims the manager and owner ran the same scheme at another property they owned in Granite Bay.

I came back the next day and asked one of my co-workers. He told me that the owners of the storage space would sell the stuff they stole from renters, and that the manager and owner did the same thing with another property that they owned in Granite Bay. I quit to go back to Sac State. I called the Rocklin cops to tell them what the owners were doing, and they said that there was nothing they could do unless they were caught in the act. — guido_pilot

Response and Next Steps

The poster says they resigned to return to Sac State and reported the alleged theft to the Rocklin police, who reportedly replied that they could not take action unless the theft was observed in the act. The account circulated in an online thread alongside similar workplace revelations and consumer-trust discussions.

Context And Related Coverage

The thread linked to several related pieces on workplace misconduct, consumer trust, and personal essays. It also referenced recent BuzzFeed Work & Money coverage, including multiple articles by Stephanie Soteriou that explore cultural moments and workplace stories from November 2025.

What Renters Should Consider

While these are allegations and have not been independently verified here, renters and customers concerned about storage fraud can take practical steps: keep an inventory and dated photos of stored items, secure units with personal high-quality locks, keep paper or digital receipts, ask managers about on-site inventory procedures and sale policies, and report suspicious activity to police and to consumer protection agencies. If you suspect theft, document everything and consider contacting an attorney about civil remedies.

Why This Matters: Allegations of employees or owners reselling renters' property raise serious trust and legal questions for self-storage businesses and consumers who rely on them.
