You might be surprised by some of the treasures people decide to store! If you couldn\u2019t get enough after Volume 1 of our Top Storage Unit Finds<\/a> series, you\u2019re in luck! We\u2019re back with a new round of unique finds \u2013 this time from our storage locations in the United Kingdom<\/a>!<\/p>\n

1. A wooly find in Brighton<\/h2>\n

We get calls all the time from customers looking to store the contents of their spare bedroom or garden shed, but we were a little surprised when we got a request to store a 9 foot tall Shaun the Sheep statue at our Brighton & Kemptown StorageMart<\/a>! Shaun stayed with us for a few months, completely filling an 80 square foot space, before moving on to help promote the newest movie.<\/p>\n

2. Roll with the punches<\/h2>\n

A few years back a local boxing ring had a flood\u2026 rather than stop training to wait for repairs, they actually moved their ring into one of our storage rooms in Brighton<\/a> on Crowhurst Road! A total KO of a deal for both parties.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Who<\/em> stored it?<\/h2>\n

One of the longest running television shows in history, Dr. Who,<\/em> has fans all over the globe, not to mention a huge fan base here in the U.K. We were thrilled when one of our customers looking for storage in Bevendean<\/a> recently unloaded this Dalek in excellent condition!<\/p>\n

Although we can\u2019t confirm it, the rumor is the Dalek was constructed by the son of Bill Roberts, one of the original creators of the TV show. Doesn\u2019t seem like anyone is at risk of being exterminated today at least!<\/p>\n

4. Cat House<\/h2>\n

In the past we\u2019ve tackled some tough questions\u2026 like how many pancakes fit in a storage unit<\/a>, but we weren\u2019t prepared to learn how many stuffed animals fit in a storage unit! We had a company that helps teach children sign language bring their massive stock of small stuffed cats to our storage facility in High Wycombe. <\/a><\/p>\n

We aren\u2019t talking a few hundred, we\u2019re talking 200 square feet of storage space completely full to the brim with stuffed cats. It was quite a sight and a great cause to support. In fact, we love supporting local organizations helping to give back to the community with our Store it Forward<\/a> program, a collection of initiatives that provides funds, a helping hand, or a little bit of extra space to those in need.<\/p>\n
