    I served in the US Navy back in the 70s, in California. Whenever we’d buy a used car, the first stop was to drive it over to the base and ask security to have the drug dogs give the vehicle a sniffing inspection The logic was that it was better to have it searched on day 1, as a precaution, then have anything found during a random Stop and Search later.

      When I rent a vehicle, I give it a full walk through. Over the years it would be no surprise to anybody the things I found in vehicles. And living on the East Coast I once had a High Patrolman tell me that they target vehicles on I95 with either New York or Florida license plates. Usually a red flag that the vehicle is used to move product between the two states and every state inbetween. And I must say, every vehicle at all the rental agencies all seem to have Florida plates.
      Over the years I have found bullets, fire crackers, and more air fresheners than I care to count. I remember one rental I looked at had so many air fresheners under the driver's seat the seat had trouble moving back and forth. LOL
      Yeah, if you got access to a drug sniffing dog, take advantage of it. The last thing you want is to get pulled over in a rental when you and the cleaner both missed the bag of drugs stuffed under the console.

      Using a police drug sniffing dog depends on how busy the officer and dog may be at that time. Please call first! Hubby had an EOD (explosives) dog…there were times they had more than one call per day. In a big city, even with a large unit, work can be very busy indeed. Dog can’t work constantly.

      I own 3 scales (four counting my husbands) and I don't use drugs. The largest is a scientific scale with bakers logic I use for recipes especially bread. One is a small scale that would fit in your hand I use for gold, (my husband uses it for reloads too) and I have another one that is bigger for diamonds and other stones. It doesn't weight anything over an ounce. Then my husband has a larger scale with real weights to tare it and he uses it for reloads. I also have baggies in every size imaginable for stones and jewelry. What I don't have is a storage unit.

      I always check things. If it's something I like and want to keep it stays outside on the side porch to be cleaned outside before bringing it inside my home. If it's clothes we wash it in a cheap plastic kids pool to get most of the stuff off and then put it in the washer down in the basement. We bring used clothes like that through the back basement door and never mix them with our normal clothes until washed at least once.
      I once had a dollhouse I really liked have a few bugs and it was on the porch sprayed with raid and cleaned thoroughly. I got the dollhouse to fix it up. the paper on the walls of the dollhouse had gotten messed up like if someone smoked around it for years and I removed all of it by hand to get new paper on it. I used contact paper to replace the paper it once had with something better.
      The dollhouse was almost as tall as me. It's 3ft tall and $100 online. I'm around 4ft 10 so my head was the only thing that was above the doll house when standing in front of it. The dollhouse is currently in the garage still being worked on. The electronic parts all work just fine so there was nothing that was needed for that to work. I will be buying some of the original furniture and things used online to replace some things if I can find any of it.

Here, in the Ontario city I live in, it takes police a week to show up after a break in, and one guy even called WHILE the break in was happening in his shed, but they had no one to send. Non-emergency, even for drugs, aren't a priority, as shocking as that sounds. If no one is in immediate danger, you're at the bottom of the list. I don't blame him for not wanting to stick around for who knows how long for them to eventually show up - maybe.

    Multiple ways this locker could have gone wrong. Primary is the health and safety concerns of physical contact. Items of value especially illegal that are wanted by previous owner have the potential of negative interactions for retrieval maybe away from storage location. Even without any of that, doing the “right thing” could have caused the seizure of the entire contents of the locker to not be returned and loss of money spent. Then the unlikely but always possibility of revenge or reprisals. Glad everything went as well as it did

A detective in my town a few months ago was cleaning out a car from a crime scene and touched something that had drugs on it and he immediately passed out. Thankfully, the other officers knew that it might be fentanyl and were able to tell the paramedics. He was fine but I bet he won't be touching anything again without gloves.

    Good finds. I'm retired from the legal field, and one thing you should always do, is call the police 🚔 from the storage unit your clearing out. Take everything else out of the locker while your waiting for the officers to arrive. With Mary Jane being legal in Canada you shouldn't be charged, but any schedule 2 drug should never be moved without protective equipment, as you don't know what is in the bags without a drug testing kit. With some drugs all you have to do is be in the same room as the power without protection a person can over dose. A police officer in the U.S. had that happen to him. He ingested it from breathing it in. I feel that was the money they wanted to retrieve from the locker, as it was worth alot of money. I hope you have a great weekend 🙂⚘.

    Wow wasn't that an adventure, I'm glad that Steven was there for the life experience and everything went well with transportation and disposal, No wonder the previous owner wanted back in, I guess someone probably isn't to pleased with her, very interesting locker you sure know how too pick em Alex...:)

      I am so glad for Steven to see that when you find (stolen) goods, everything is ok if you give it to you mother and sister.

    Thank you for showing your adventure with Stephen. It was nice to see you two working together. I'm glad the drugs are with the police and not on the street. That must of been the 'cash' she was looking for. Thanks, as always, for sharing your day. See you later.

    I’ve missed you. I have been busy with a new job and not really spending a lot of time on YT. But I did recently see a couple post from your artist pal Josh. He’s been having a rough time, I purchased some prints and made me think I should check in on you and see what’s happening. This was an eclectic assortment of stuff. Wow…I can’t imagine how things will turn out for the person who lost their drugs. 😞😞 happy it’s out of circulation. Good job.

    I would suggest that if that happens again, lock up the unit, go out to your truck, and call the police. I would really want the police there since the folks that lost it might be a little on the cranky side.

    Seeing the Nintendo 64 brought back memories of when I played with mine. I still have it. I also have a PSP and GameCube so it really brings back memories of me playing some of them last week.
    I used to have a DSLite as a kid but my brother broke it. It was the rose pink colored one.
    Also that bag of drugs was probably what she wanted if she went back saying there's a lot of money in there.
