There are more videos that cover this boat locker adventure. We just posted an update which answers some of the questions that are repeatedly asked in the over 1,200 comments. Check it out here: th-cam.com/video/pol6zrLSyzE/w-d-xo.html
Why do I feel like they are bullshitting you guys and are going to keep the boats themselves its not the first time something like that has happened on-top of that you can clearly see boats in the unit which is why you guys paid so much to get the locker in first place right there for either the boats are yours they knew the boats were there when selling them you guys own those boats fair and square they cant tell you not to keep them polices or not and if they want to say you can't keep the boats then ask for a 100% refund on buying the locker seeing as it lost 99% of its value with the boat ohhh and keep your eyes open in your local waters or at the docks if you see either these boats in the water make a complaint to someone and get the boats back
Public Storage had an auction and sold our boat. It had been stolen and stored in their facility, in ALAMEDA, by the guy who stole it from us, and a bunch of other stuff. He was a previous employee. He didn't pay his bill. They auctioned the unit and we were contacted by the buyer because they found our business records in the unit and thought we might need them. We had to fight tooth and nail to get our stuff back, and didn't. Not all of it. Bottom line is this. The boat can be fought for by two of the three parties involved. The only party who absolutely had NO CLAIM and was NEVER going to get to keep the boat under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES was Public Storage. And they threw all kinds of BS at us un an attempt to keep our boat. The judge was very clear, Public Storage could have no claim on the property once the auction was over. And the boat stayed on their property the whole time we were fighting over it. They weren't even allowed to charge additional storage.
Ok so your not responsible for the trash or cleaning? When you buy a unit you own everything Including the trash right They have the option to pull the unit from sale prior to finalization of the auction. Once the auctioneer says sold It is yours. Especially in California. The police already stated it was not stolen GET the titles if you didn't find them YOUR the legal owners
Oh and policy is not law As long as your renting the locker then they can't ask you to remove the lock I would look at suits against public storage You should have spoke straight away to a lawyer
Not if they were abandoned property, as implied by including the boats up for auction in the first place. The storage auction had a duty to inform all bidders up front through auction terms and conditions of any exceptions to this. Any bidder that participated in this auction can file a complaint with the state, don't have to be the winning bidder to do so.
there were several instances of cars and motorcycles found storage lockers. The boats are legally yours. the storage unit can say whatever they want but you legally purchased them in an auction. If I was you I would fight their decision.
@JA S Incorrect! It's similar to a mechanics lien sale. While I'm not familiar with California statutes pertaining to similar situations. That being said California does have some screwy laws in general but in every other state I'm familiar with you own them with a simple bill of sale from the storage company and can easily be converted into a title legally. I'm not a conspiracy theorist but would be interested in knowing if they were in fact returned to the original owner or if someone in "upper management" is enjoying them currently or spending the proceeds of sale of said boats...
Did the auctioneer or storage manager tell you at the time of bidding that you cannot take the boats? Would the bid have gone that high without the boats? I would get your lawyer on it.
One word... lawsuit. I think you'd win in court. I mean, did they say before the auction that if it contain a boat then the boat is not included? I'm guessing they didn't. Sue them for misrepresentation and maybe fraud.
I did some checking into this situation with my lawyer. He said they belong to you. Legally the storage company can't keep them. He said they can give you your money back or the boats because legally the boats are yalls.
Not understanding how, since the locker was in auction process. And you purchased said locker. How the facility can keep items that you purchased.. doesn't seem right.. is there laws about this issue in that state.. if not you by law then would be able to keep what you purchased in the entire said locker.. and why would that facility take back items that you purchased... I would contact an attorney and start asking questions about the legality of that situation.. bobbih59@gmail.com
I suspect upper management wanted those boat for themselves and came up with this BS story. The mahogany Correct Craft is worth a bunch by the looks of the condition.
Jake. What reason did they give you? Did you sign a contract with the locker facility on the understanding the boats were not included in the sale? I would look into that decision, you buy what you see.
You and your wife are being too lenient on those SCAMMERS, they are ripping you off Big time. Please do not let them RIP you off. You should give that Policeman a call, he knows you bought the boats and all CONTENTS in that locker, plus he checked to see if they were stolen or not.Give that Policeman a call and get him to verify who the true owners are.
The mohagany boat runs for $8500 average but the storage needs to put a disclaimer if you purchase the locker, I thought when you purchase a locker the entire contents became your as the purchaser. I think the upper management decided they wanted the boats for themselves.
We bought a storage locker and found a box of old gold doubloons. They were valued at over $20,000. The state confiscated them as historical artifacts. They did give us the $270 we paid for the locker and let us keep the rest of the stuff, (a few hundred bucks worth) but we got screwed out of the big bucks. We talked to a lawyer about it and he said we had very little chance of winning against the state, and the legal costs would be far more than the value of the document. The little guy has zero power against these scoundrels. Oh well. Lesson learned: From now on we KEEP OUR YAPS SHUT WHEN WE FIND SOMETHING VALUABLE!
After you score the big bucks. Let is know what you found and approximately value if you wish. Double standards living people out there. You will make out better soon I hope.
So if you buy a locker and there is something highly valuable, everythings yours except the highly valuable and the facility can claim it. Please explain😒
People leave boats for many reasons just abandoned, cost, junked, etc. So the goverment came up with laws they did not have to pay for cost of removing them. Cars are easy to sell as junk or to redo, boats are not. So the best way to handle it is to file the proper paperwork in your state and its yours. No cost to tax payer and abandoned boat is out of tax payers hands. Yep the goverment just made money on the paperwork, tax, tags, etc again. Two reasons for this law, taxpayer don't pay but they make money. If the storage owner did not comply to the laws of the autions, they have a problem, they bidded a higher amount because of the boats most likely and should take the storage owner to small claims court.
Guys I used to work at an auction facility. The storage facility was aware of said watercrafts in their storage locker prior to auction. All lockers are itemised prior to start of auction. In this instance, the storage facility had a duty of care to ensure that these boats were NOT stolen prior to listing the unit available for auction, or they risk the penalty of dealing, handling and the sale of stolen goods. This is a clause for “big ticket” items. You are entitled to the boats as per the rules of auction, in that you purchased the “entire” contents of the locker. If the holding facility were not prepared to sell the boats, it is also their responsibility to remove those boats from the locker 48hrs before sale day. The police cleared the boats as non stolen and therefore can provide you with their title. The storage facility and Auctioneer company have no legal rights to retain those boats. The same rule applies to motorcycles, trucks and cars. Go get your property back.
This is just wrong. You bought that from them and you have legal title to them. The Police will want to return them to whoever reported them stolen, that suits the Police of course. The Storage Unit has no right to tell you what to do with them as they are yours. You need to get a lawyer and quickly.
You guys are too nice. You may have enabled the storage. “Not hot, my lot, or see me in court and bring an expensive lawyer because I have one on retainer that I’m itching to use”. Is the line I would have used with a hellava poker face.
Unless I saw it in writing and checked with a lawyer I would not give up on those boats!! No way......I reckon that facility manager will be out on the water as soon as he can hook up the trailer.......honestly worth getting a lawyers advice....I hope you made sure you got signed paperwork about giving them up....
Public Storage screwed you... You could have filed an abandoned property claim, I mean technically you owned it based on how it was purchased... Unless there was specific rules written before you bid on it based on vehicles, then you got screwed..and should have fought it..!!
I agree that their next call should be to an attorney, which they preferably would've done before removing locks and returning the boats. All sales are final. If they had something in their agreement which stated "we can take back stuff we think you shouldn't be allowed to keep" then no-one would go to their auctions. Find a monet painting - expect it to be taken back. Nope. Not happening. Some supreme bullshit going on there.
Did they give you a receipt from the auction? If they did that is a bill of sale and the boats are yours. I would have called the police and then removed them from their property.
hiya i seriously think that sounds fishy lol, no seriously check all your T & Cs & ask other storage locker buyers, for advice on this. I hope your not being conned at the end of the day surely it should be sold as seen and as the cops gave it the ok makes me even more suspicious, please cover your backs Locker Nuts, you come over as a lovely couple and you do not want to be treated like a door mat (a saying we use here in Scotland, dunno if its used there). Good Luck xxx
well here in the land of the free, its all a scam, everything revolves around money. its all bullshit, money has no value except for what people believe it to be, money has no backing of anything tangible
THATS BS! if I was yall I would never go to an auction at that storage again and possibly think about seeing over this. If you dont fight this they will pull the same thing on someone else in the future!!! Good luck and God bless you
We had a 27.5' Chris Craft Cabin Cruiser all mahogany and teak wood. I absolutely loved it and would spend the night on it while in our slip on Lake Oroville just to get away. I pray you got an attorney to fight for the boats you bought. If not, I'm quite sure the "upper-management" kept them for themselves. I love you in Christ. Hugs.
How can they do that? Did they let people know before they bid that the boats are not included? If not the bidding wouldn't have gone anywhere as high. I think you could sue. Everyone bidding thought they were bidding on everything in the unit. So that sounds a lot like they were baiting everyone.
Any 'Registered California Vehicle' can not be sold without lien paperwork, advertising in a local paper, sending certified mail to last owners, then the facility can sell them. Now, once you buy them, you must wait 10 days for your paperwork that you have submitted to DMV clears their side... Then it's yours. That's all I do, buying vehicles from auctions. It's fun. Now, I would keep contact with the manager and see if their lien company (3rd party) will have it listed for sale in the near future. Good luck!!!
I Agree with Gonzo 59...You should get a lawyer. In some states it is against the law to hold items from a completed storage locker sale. You buy "any and all items" when you buy a unit.
Public Storage must have informed this couple that the titled property was not included in the sale of the lockers items. Legally the storage company can not sell any titled property that is registered with the state or has a lien on it. Public Storage apparently didn’t rent the enclosed locker for storage of said boats if so the renter would have needed to show ownership of the boats. I feel this is the case here because Public Storage requested that this couple contact the police department something that Public Storage was obligated to do not the winners of the locker. Regardless according to law the storage company would need to contact the owner or owners of the boats to see if the owner would sign a lien release which normally the owner will not do. If the storage company happens to acquire from the boat owner a title release than the boats could be sold but not from an enclosed storage locker. This is very complex because an inside storage locker had different laws within it contained materials verses an outside storage area meant for titles vehicles such as cars - rv’s and boats. Any titled vehicle will become property of the state if the bank or finance company doesn’t hold a lien on said registered property. Public Storage had to follow the law or laws pertaining to said titled or registered property with the state it is registered to. As I stated I ca not imagine Public Storage hot notifying bidders the boats were not included in the bidding of this storage locker. Thank You
What? Wait?You bought the boats at auction....It's a contract...Done deal....Their screw up, they pay you the value, not what you paid....... the value? Maybe, I missed something.....They would have a hard time getting them from me after I bought them at auction, after I pay the stuff is mine...Sorry, they should have had their end sorted out before they auctioned them, not your problem...Something just doesn't sound right....Why would you hand them back? I'd tell them to kiss my butt, their mistake...Pay me what I was going to sell them for and they can have them back.....Uhhhhhggg!!!! This ticks me off and they aren't even my boats!!! I'm really confused on why you would just hand them back!!!???
I would be fighting for those boats. You purchased the unit based on them. You payed for the unit. They were in the unit. Their policy is nil and void once the sale was made.
Not trying to be a dick here but it seems to me if that policy was in place BEFORE the sale then it's NOT nil and void because of the sale. Wouldn't come down to the fact that they(locker nuts) should have known the policy before the sale? What I'd like to know is what exactly does the policy say? Too bad they didn't tell us in this video. Then we would know more. I think they should have been able to keep them.
Why did they sell them & then change their minds? That wooden boat is worth a small fortune! So, is the upper management taking the boats??? I'd lawyer up & fast!
We knew the boats weren't a sure thing, but we were willing to take a gamble on them. We won with the rest of the items... there were some high end stuff in there!
@@LockerNuts I don't understand about the boats? Who do they belong to now the storage company? Are they allowed to sell them? The one thing I have heard from every storage auction buyer on every channel is once you buy a locker and pay for it it's yours and no one can come and say oh that's my stuff. Please help me understand what happened here? Just trying to learn about the business. Tell Jenna even though she worked very hard she was still beautiful. And of course you were handsome. Love you guys. I can't wait for the next video whether it is from the two lockers that you bought or more about these boats.👨👩👧👧🐕❤❤💕👊
Even if you knew it wasn't a sure thing they can't come back after the cell and take them unless there was something illegal dealing with them and that would be through the police department and not them at all. There's a whole lot fishy with this store you need an attorney.
@@LockerNuts I have no idea what's going on with this, and at this point I think you should really think about this kind of stuff before you bid on it. Unsub
This makes no sense! Why would you walk from a potential profit like that without first obtaining legal representation? Unless this is a scam for views or you are simply willing to roll over you need to have a lawyer review this! You say you “knew there was a chance you wouldn’t be able to keep the boats” How did you know that? Was it in the sale contract? If not don’t be taken advantage of, hire an attorney.
Once purchased - what legal authority does Public Storage have to take your boats ? What are they doing with them ? Who are they going to ? I think someone is stealing your boats .
They are going back to the original owner that's where there going he came in and gave them a chunk of money to get them back there both worth a fortune that is a all hand made wooden boat 40 to 50 grand easy omg it's beautiful omg lawyer lawyer lawyer I wood .
@English i posted links on the jet boat history, your local media should love this stuff at the end of their news segmant, it gives them context n history, when r u going to visit new zealand?
I'm so sorry to hear about the boat situation. I also wanted to tell you Jebus sent me I'm thrilled you have taken them under your wing. I am Excited to start having your channel in my video watching line up. Keep up the amazing work. Xoxo
You have been cheated!!! You bought everything in that locker. What a scam. I would get my lawyer on this immediatly. They cannot steal back what you have all ready bought.
Jebus sent us to send you love to repay you back for your kindness! Thank you for being amazing people. You have gained a new subscriber here. Sending love from 🇦🇺 Aus xx
What a bummer re the boats. Not sure of laws over there but seems to me like they were yours, as they were in the locker. Otherwise what's the point? You especially, and all your family, have such a lovely happy and humble approach to this career. It's a pleasure to watch. You deserve wonderful things. Keep up the great work. 👍
As several have commented your got scammed! If the boats are not stolen, then you must check to see if there is an bank lien on them (if there is,the bank would own the boats and you would have to deal with them), but as far as the storage company is concerned they have NO LEGAL CLAIM to the boats once they sold them to you.
i'll say this and say this now, there is only one situation I can think of or acknowledge to lead to this. They only logical explanation besides keeping the boats for themselves is the original owners that the boats where registered too wanted them back. Even if they where not stolen, they where still under active registration, one til what did the cop say 2022? As long as their is active registration on the boats or the trailer they are on the they are not technically deemed "abandoned" The original owners the one they are registered to could come and ask for them back as long as the value is still higher then the storage fees. (or could have even made a deal with the storage owners to get the boats back) This had to have happened. if it did not then you need to hire an attorney and get what you paid for. That would really be the only reason they could "legally" ask for the boats back.
Please call a lawyer & tell them your story & see if they think you have a case. If they do have them send a letter. Bet you get those boats back in a hurry after they get the letter.
The boats are yours they auctioned the locker with the boats in so contact the authorities because if they sell them they must give you the money or if the owners get them back you get salvage fee because you found them and saved them
I can't believe that you wouldn't just take the boats home. The police said they weren't stolen so its not a legal issue. The public storage management is probably shaking their heads in disbelief that you actually left them knowing that they couldn't and wouldn't have stopped you.
That is B's did they give your money back that you bought the unit for .... I believe they know the value of the mahogany boat with teak decking that boat was 25,30 Grand bye it's self...really fishy
I've been a subscriber your channel and Jebus'. But because of your generosity and love both of you, Jebus sent me!! That is so wrong about the boats. Ya'll are honest people who got screwed. I'd call a lawyer and then after it is over, never go to that storage facility. Love your channel. P.S. I know every state has their own laws but What the hales has once said whether it is stolen (which the boats are not) or whatever, you buy the locker, everything is for the buyer.
@@whooztomcruz we were totally ready too. I was clearing my calendar and Janna was picking names for the boat. Ah well. And no records this time, but if there were, they would have been great, because this dude had some money!
Make sure you get it all in writing that they want to keep the Boats. You bought it at a Lien Sale and they were obviously in there. Unless they stated that the boats don't come with the unit then those boats are yours . PLus you placed a Bid based on the boats in the unit. So I hope they refunded your money ! Legally those are yours but you are risking of them kicking you out of the auction and then you have to sue !
I think in the previous video you said you paid $800 for the locker at auction! The auction was driven by the fact that there where 2 boats in the locker! DID THEY RETURN ANY OF THE MONEY YOU PAID FOR THE LOCKER? It seems you would be entitled to a partial refund as the rest of the items in the locker were NOT worth $800!
I worked for a management company that managed storage facilities for years & we did auctions & yes sold cars,boats,rvs, you name it & I hope they had a really good reason because its not Public storage that gets to pick what they can and cant do with boats and cars in storage units its the state that has guidelines they have to go buy & unfortunately there are some facilities banking on the average person who buys a unit not knowing what the laws are & then the facility ends up keeping things or selling them to make a profit & yes it may be different from state to state but not all that much. So with the value of those boats I would seriously be questioning their motives for not letting you have them if I were you. Just saying

I don’t think they can legally do that due the fact that they already sold the boats to you. It no longer belongs to the storage unit place
Public Storage had an auction and sold our boat. It had been stolen and stored in their facility, in ALAMEDA, by the guy who stole it from us, and a bunch of other stuff.

When you buy a unit you own everything
Including the trash right
They have the option to pull the unit from sale prior to finalization of the auction.
Once the auctioneer says sold
It is yours. Especially in California.
The police already stated it was not stolen
GET the titles if you didn't find them
YOUR the legal owners
Oh and policy is not law
As long as your renting the locker then they can't ask you to remove the lock
I would look at suits against public storage
You should have spoke straight away to a lawyer
They were aware boats were in there before the auction, they sold you the WHOLE unit, that INCLUDES the boats. They legally belong to you🤬
Not if they were abandoned property, as implied by including the boats up for auction in the first place.

@@mcmc8496 especially if the owner has passed
You needed a lawyer. They should have had the boats checked before the sale. They made you take the risk. THEY CHEATED YOU!
Did the auctioneer or storage manager tell you at the time of bidding that you cannot take the boats? Would the bid have gone that high without the boats? I would get your lawyer on it.
Pure thievery on the side of the storage facility. Scamming them bigtime.
I would demand full price paid for the until, be returned in full - your bid was based on the boats being in the deal.
One word... lawsuit. I think you'd win in court. I mean, did they say before the auction that if it contain a boat then the boat is not included? I'm guessing they didn't. Sue them for misrepresentation and maybe fraud.

If they didnt exclude the boats first when it was auctioned...i dont see how they can renig.
I would have hauled them off then make the storage company try to get them back, you won the auction, they are yours
So, they can randomly decide if they want to keep something in the locker even though you paid for everything! Scam!!! Get a lawyer!
Why??? So they can keep them and sell them for their own profits.
Exactly!! So sad!
Not understanding how, since the locker was in auction process. And you purchased said locker.

Call that police man back , and get him to arrest them ,for theft 🏴
yes the District Attorney should take this case -- you are a victim
You should get all your money back, check out bait and switch law. I'm not sure if that's the right one, but worth checking into.
*they are scamming you* You legally bought those boats if the didn't say, boats not included!
You and your wife are being too lenient on those SCAMMERS, they are ripping you off Big time. Please do not let them RIP you off.

I'm speechless. You entered into a purchase agreement that should be binding. I would love to hear a legal opinion on this one, regardless of outcome.
We bought a storage locker and found a box of old gold doubloons. They were valued at over $20,000. The state confiscated them as historical artifacts. They did give us the $270 we paid for the locker and let us keep the rest of the stuff, (a few hundred bucks worth) but we got screwed out of the big bucks. We talked to a lawyer about it and he said we had very little chance of winning against the state, and the legal costs would be far more than the value of the document. The little guy has zero power against these scoundrels. Oh well. Lesson learned:
From now on we KEEP OUR YAPS SHUT WHEN WE FIND SOMETHING VALUABLE!
Never Never call authorities when you find something really valuable in a storage unit! They are all about abuse of power, greedy bastards!
After you score the big bucks. Let is know what you found and approximately value if you wish. Double standards living people out there. You will make out better soon I hope.
I call bs the they cant do that u bought it that makes u the owner nice try tho
Ya what were you thinking telling you found them?
@@willyam9735 hey dumbass watch the video. The cops had nothing to do with the locker company scamming these dummies out of boats.
So if you buy a locker and there is something highly valuable, everythings yours except the highly valuable and the facility can claim it. Please explain😒
Should have hooked to those boats and left as soon as you paid for the locker.
why would boats be any different than cars? I want the legal reason they kept the boats?
I'm with you kpop! This isn't right and how could it be legal?
Because they found out they were worth thousands of dollars they riped you off bastards. You have the rights
Yeah law suit for sure they got taken

@@jamesschrum8924 that's rite they own them for the bid alone by auction sale the boats belong to the bidders period
Ive worked for storage companies and delt with selling units. Taking them back after a sale is theft
I think a Good Lawyer would be a great investment & well worth the cost.
Guys I used to work at an auction facility. The storage facility was aware of said watercrafts in their storage locker prior to auction. All lockers are itemised prior to start of auction.

You are entitled to the boats as per the rules of auction, in that you purchased the “entire” contents of the locker. If the holding facility were not prepared to sell the boats, it is also their responsibility to remove those boats from the locker 48hrs before sale day. The police cleared the boats as non stolen and therefore can provide you with their title. The storage facility and Auctioneer company have no legal rights to retain those boats.

Nooooooooo. I bet the Manager (s) are seen out water skiing before the end of summer 😠😠😠😠
so how can you buy the locker and not get all the contents I would get a lawyer
Public owned but they don't have to follow privately owned facilities? Thought once you buy all yours
Unless I saw it in writing and checked with a lawyer I would not give up on those boats!! No way......I reckon that facility manager will be out on the water as soon as he can hook up the trailer.......honestly worth getting a lawyers advice....I hope you made sure you got signed paperwork about giving them up....
It would be worth talking to a lawyer and getting a legal opinion. Remember the storage facility will look out for themselves first.
Public Storage screwed you... You could have filed an abandoned property claim, I mean technically you owned it based on how it was purchased... Unless there was specific rules written before you bid on it based on vehicles, then you got screwed..and should have fought it..!!
I would not walked away. Find a lawyer and take it back. Be a stand up guy 💪 and fight. I'm a Baptist and I'm a fighter. Do what you want.
Like everyone else said, lawyer. Let em have the boats. Sue for loss of profit and court costs/lawyer fees.
They cant do that they new they were in there and let you buy that locker id get a lawyer well i guess ill never do this was gonna do it but not now
I agree that their next call should be to an attorney, which they preferably would've done before removing locks and returning the boats. All sales are final. If they had something in their agreement which stated "we can take back stuff we think you shouldn't be allowed to keep" then no-one would go to their auctions. Find a monet painting - expect it to be taken back. Nope. Not happening. Some supreme bullshit going on there.
Did they give you a receipt from the auction? If they did that is a bill of sale and the boats are yours. I would have called the police and then removed them from their property.
hiya i seriously think that sounds fishy lol, no seriously check all your T & Cs & ask other storage locker buyers, for advice on this. I hope your not being conned at the end of the day surely it should be sold as seen and as the cops gave it the ok makes me even more suspicious, please cover your backs Locker Nuts, you come over as a lovely couple and you do not want to be treated like a door mat (a saying we use here in Scotland, dunno if its used there).
Good Luck xxx
well here in the land of the free, its all a scam, everything revolves around money.
its all bullshit, money has no value except for what people believe it to be, money has no backing of anything tangible
Don't let them BS you, talk to a lawyer before you give up on the boats
It can't hurt to see what they say
about it
It's really funny that they had no problem selling them to conveniently needing them back!
you bought the unit with the boats in them in it so they are yours, don't give in.
THATS BS! if I was yall I would never go to an auction at that storage again and possibly think about seeing over this. If you dont fight this they will pull the same thing on someone else in the future!!! Good luck and God bless you
We had a 27.5' Chris Craft Cabin Cruiser all mahogany and teak wood. I absolutely loved it and would spend the night on it while in our slip on Lake Oroville just to get away. I pray you got an attorney to fight for the boats you bought. If not, I'm quite sure the "upper-management" kept them for themselves. I love you in Christ. Hugs.
How can they do that? Did they let people know before they bid that the boats are not included? If not the bidding wouldn't have gone anywhere as high. I think you could sue. Everyone bidding thought they were bidding on everything in the unit. So that sounds a lot like they were baiting everyone.
Any 'Registered California Vehicle' can not be sold without lien paperwork, advertising in a local paper, sending certified mail to last owners, then the facility can sell them. Now, once you buy them, you must wait 10 days for your paperwork that you have submitted to DMV clears their side... Then it's yours. That's all I do, buying vehicles from auctions. It's fun.
Now, I would keep contact with the manager and see if their lien company (3rd party) will have it listed for sale in the near future. Good luck!!!
Talk to a lawyer!!! Consultations are free and at least you will know legally for sure.
I Agree with Gonzo 59...You should get a lawyer. In some states it is against the law to hold items from a completed storage locker sale. You buy "any and all items" when you buy a unit.
BS
Public Storage had around 45 days from the time they cut the lock to auction to figure all that out.
Public Storage must have informed this couple that the titled property was not included in the sale of the lockers items. Legally the storage company can not sell any titled property that is registered with the state or has a lien on it. Public Storage apparently didn’t rent the enclosed locker for storage of said boats if so the renter would have needed to show ownership of the boats. I feel this is the case here because Public Storage requested that this couple contact the police department something that Public Storage was obligated to do not the winners of the locker. Regardless according to law the storage company would need to contact the owner or owners of the boats to see if the owner would sign a lien release which normally the owner will not do. If the storage company happens to acquire from the boat owner a title release than the boats could be sold but not from an enclosed storage locker. This is very complex because an inside storage locker had different laws within it contained materials verses an outside storage area meant for titles vehicles such as cars - rv’s and boats. Any titled vehicle will become property of the state if the bank or finance company doesn’t hold a lien on said registered property.
Public Storage had to follow the law or laws pertaining to said titled or registered property with the state it is registered to.
As I stated I ca not imagine Public Storage hot notifying bidders the boats were not included in the bidding of this storage locker. Thank You
We put out a follow up video, which addresses this very topic. You can view it here:
th-cam.com/video/pol6zrLSyzE/w-d-xo.html
I'm new and I don't understand the issue with the boats. How can they own the boats if they were part of a locker you brought?
PLEASE GET A LAWYER, LAWYER, LAWYER. PLEASE U DON'T KNOW WHAT U HAD .
What? Wait?You bought the boats at auction....It's a contract...Done deal....Their screw up, they pay you the value, not what you paid....... the value? Maybe, I missed something.....They would have a hard time getting them from me after I bought them at auction, after I pay the stuff is mine...Sorry, they should have had their end sorted out before they auctioned them, not your problem...Something just doesn't sound right....Why would you hand them back? I'd tell them to kiss my butt, their mistake...Pay me what I was going to sell them for and they can have them back.....Uhhhhhggg!!!! This ticks me off and they aren't even my boats!!! I'm really confused on why you would just hand them back!!!???
Guess the storage place wanted the boats for themselves
I would be fighting for those boats. You purchased the unit based on them. You payed for the unit. They were in the unit. Their policy is nil and void once the sale was made.
Not trying to be a dick here but it seems to me if that policy was in place BEFORE the sale then it's NOT nil and void because of the sale. Wouldn't come down to the fact that they(locker nuts) should have known the policy before the sale? What I'd like to know is what exactly does the policy say? Too bad they didn't tell us in this video. Then we would know more. I think they should have been able to keep them.
Two boats worth about 75k+ Everything else is extra profit. Biggest Cha-Ching ever for you, & Jebus!
If you buy storage building.what ever in it is yours.
They won't sell the boats, they're gonna keep them for their own purposes. That was absolute garbage. Keep up the great work you do
I think it's crazy you won the storage & paid for it, but they mess you out of the boats. Either for themselves or sale them thier self
Why did they sell them & then change their minds? That wooden boat is worth a small fortune! So, is the upper management taking the boats??? I'd lawyer up & fast!
you had every right to keep the boats . you got had. you are to nice of people.
You did a good job explaining the tools. Way to go Lady Locker Nut!
Christy Brownfield thank you my whole family is contractors
Mrs Locker nuts you did very good wtg!
Take the boats and let them sue you for them. You can put them in a storage unit and then don't pay the bill...
That is messed up and has to be illegal in so many ways # I love you locker nuts keep up the good work
I love the way you two act together! Seems like a great respect between the both of you‼️❤️ I also like the way you look through the boxes neatly‼️👍🏻
Thank you!
You paid for the locker and they knew they were in there and they let you buy it so I hope you fight
We knew the boats weren't a sure thing, but we were willing to take a gamble on them. We won with the rest of the items... there were some high end stuff in there!
@@LockerNuts I don't understand about the boats? Who do they belong to now the storage company? Are they allowed to sell them? The one thing I have heard from every storage auction buyer on every channel is once you buy a locker and pay for it it's yours and no one can come and say oh that's my stuff. Please help me understand what happened here? Just trying to learn about the business. Tell Jenna even though she worked very hard she was still beautiful. And of course you were handsome. Love you guys. I can't wait for the next video whether it is from the two lockers that you bought or more about these boats.👨👩👧👧🐕❤❤💕👊
Even if you knew it wasn't a sure thing they can't come back after the cell and take them unless there was something illegal dealing with them and that would be through the police department and not them at all. There's a whole lot fishy with this store you need an attorney.
@@LockerNuts I have no idea what's going on with this, and at this point I think you should really think about this kind of stuff before you bid on it. Unsub
This makes no sense! Why would you walk from a potential profit like that without first obtaining legal representation? Unless this is a scam for views or you are simply willing to roll over you need to have a lawyer review this! You say you “knew there was a chance you wouldn’t be able to keep the boats” How did you know that? Was it in the sale contract? If not don’t be taken advantage of, hire an attorney.
Once purchased - what legal authority does Public Storage have to take your boats ?
What are they doing with them ? Who are they going to ? I think someone is stealing your boats .
They wanted them of course
They are going back to the original owner that's where there going he came in and gave them a chunk of money to get them back there both worth a fortune that is a all hand made wooden boat 40 to 50 grand easy omg it's beautiful omg lawyer lawyer lawyer I wood .
They are rolling you, call their bluff, also contact the media,
@English i posted links on the jet boat history, your local media should love this stuff at the end of their news segmant, it gives them context n history, when r u going to visit new zealand?
@@Averagejoesmith who are you to fucking get them banned bitch STFU.
I really hope you keep the power boat! They're so much family fun.
you did a great job! yeah you really should check everything before you sell.
I'm so sorry to hear about the boat situation. I also wanted to tell you Jebus sent me I'm thrilled you have taken them under your wing. I am Excited to start having your channel in my video watching line up. Keep up the amazing work. Xoxo
They should have said the boats not included, as the sale of locker would not have been bid so high. You all handle with grace ♥️ almost at 10k
You have been cheated!!! You bought everything in that locker. What a scam. I would get my lawyer on this immediatly. They cannot steal back what you have all ready bought.
I'm so sorry. You made your bid based on boats. The company should give you at least half of your bid. Ugh
I was thinking the same thing. They paid $800 for a locker with 2 boats....now nothing.
I agree!
They got ripped off for $800. The rest of the items aside from the boat, I doubt would even make up for it.
I would fight that. You paid for the locker and its contents
Storage treasures screwed me also! I'm so sorry! I would fight it! They found out how much that one older boat was worth!
Jebus sent us to send you love to repay you back for your kindness! Thank you for being amazing people. You have gained a new subscriber here. Sending love from 🇦🇺 Aus xx
Please explain why they have the right to take the boats
What a bummer re the boats. Not sure of laws over there but seems to me like they were yours, as they were in the locker. Otherwise what's the point? You especially, and all your family, have such a lovely happy and humble approach to this career. It's a pleasure to watch. You deserve wonderful things. Keep up the great work. 👍
Did you get any kind of refund from the storage place?
As several have commented your got scammed! If the boats are not stolen, then you must check to see if there is an bank lien on them (if there is,the bank would own the boats and you would have to deal with them), but as far as the storage company is concerned they have NO LEGAL CLAIM to the boats once they sold them to you.
That is wrong if they took those boats.......just wrong!! Love your video's God bless you and your precious family!
i'll say this and say this now, there is only one situation I can think of or acknowledge to lead to this. They only logical explanation besides keeping the boats for themselves is the original owners that the boats where registered too wanted them back. Even if they where not stolen, they where still under active registration, one til what did the cop say 2022? As long as their is active registration on the boats or the trailer they are on the they are not technically deemed "abandoned" The original owners the one they are registered to could come and ask for them back as long as the value is still higher then the storage fees. (or could have even made a deal with the storage owners to get the boats back) This had to have happened. if it did not then you need to hire an attorney and get what you paid for. That would really be the only reason they could "legally" ask for the boats back.
Please call a lawyer & tell them your story & see if they think you have a case. If they do have them send a letter. Bet you get those boats back in a hurry after they get the letter.
The boats are yours they auctioned the locker with the boats in so contact the authorities because if they sell them they must give you the money or if the owners get them back you get salvage fee because you found them and saved them
Would you have paid what you did for the locker if you knew ahead of time the boats were not part of the deal?
I can't believe that you wouldn't just take the boats home. The police said they weren't stolen so its not a legal issue. The public storage management is probably shaking their heads in disbelief that you actually left them knowing that they couldn't and wouldn't have stopped you.
Oh and by the way it was from me watching jebus and hates that I started watching you but I'm 100% with you they are great people
That’s just Shady I would get a lawyer!
That is B's did they give your money back that you bought the unit for .... I believe they know the value of the mahogany boat with teak decking that boat was 25,30 Grand bye it's self...really fishy
I've been a subscriber your channel and Jebus'. But because of your generosity and love both of you, Jebus sent me!! That is so wrong about the boats. Ya'll are honest people who got screwed. I'd call a lawyer and then after it is over, never go to that storage facility. Love your channel. P.S. I know every state has their own laws but What the hales has once said whether it is stolen (which the boats are not) or whatever, you buy the locker, everything is for the buyer.
Thank you!
What was the reason why you couldn't keep the boats?
That is for the bus and yes huge money as they are brand new vintage!
ACK WAIT WHAT NOOOOOOOOOO

I WAS READY TO HIT THE OPEN WATER 🐠🐠
Wah No Records 🚣🏿♂️🚣🏿♂️
@@whooztomcruz we were totally ready too. I was clearing my calendar and Janna was picking names for the boat. Ah well. And no records this time, but if there were, they would have been great, because this dude had some money!
Make sure you get it all in writing that they want to keep the Boats. You bought it at a Lien Sale and they were obviously in there. Unless they stated that the boats don't come with the unit then those boats are yours . PLus you placed a Bid based on the boats in the unit. So I hope they refunded your money ! Legally those are yours but you are risking of them kicking you out of the auction and then you have to sue !
Take that statue to an antique dealer and get it appraised.
I think in the previous video you said you paid $800 for the locker at auction! The auction was driven by the fact that there where 2 boats in the locker!
DID THEY RETURN ANY OF THE MONEY YOU PAID FOR THE LOCKER?
It seems you would be entitled to a partial refund as the rest of the items in the locker were NOT worth $800!
I worked for a management company that managed storage facilities for years & we did auctions & yes sold cars,boats,rvs, you name it & I hope they had a really good reason because its not Public storage that gets to pick what they can and cant do with boats and cars in storage units its the state that has guidelines they have to go buy & unfortunately there are some facilities banking on the average person who buys a unit not knowing what the laws are & then the facility ends up keeping things or selling them to make a profit & yes it may be different from state to state but not all that much. So with the value of those boats I would seriously be questioning their motives for not letting you have them if I were you. Just saying
That's a scam the facility is wanting that property for themselves
