If you’re lank into the History Channel on DSTV, like my dad, you might have come across ‘Storage Wars’.

If you haven’t, the gist of the show is: long-lost storage units are auctioned off to bidders who want what’s inside, but there’s obviously a catch – the bidders can’t venture into the unit to investigate, but can only see it from the outside.

Then, the winning bidder gets to enter the unit and show viewers what they have. Sometimes there are winners, other times there are losers, but this video below shows what happens when things get a little too competitive over seven seasons:

Well, one thing is for sure, we know one company who will never let such dribble happen on our shores. Stor-age are South Africa’s leaders in self-storage and they will go to every length possible to get the items of your abandoned unit back to you. Even if it means tracking your grandmother twice-removed.

They’ve also got a special deal for our 2OV readers, which means a full 50% off your first month’s rental. It’s true, and you don’t even have to brawl with someone for the pleasure.
