I had heard it was "Take away his VISA card", but now with smart phones I don't know any more.

There is a TV show ("Storage Wars") that shows things in storage units being put up for auction, and then it also shows what the buyers found in the unit (sometimes, they find weird and interesting stuff).

In my city, we haven't got storage units (though it wouldn't have been bad if there were some). As a result, we have a question that goes unanswered. Let me ask it here, since you have put up the topic: Why are storage units auctioned? Is it done by the owner (the person who keeps the goods in the unit), or by the company which maintains the storage unit?

When the owner of the goods doesn't pay the rent, the company can pay itself by selling the goods (after some legal procedures, that is).

Corollary: the rent is a little more than the difference between the value of stuff left by people who just can't pay less the cost of garbage disposal.

That makes me sad, somehow.

Edit: I am not completely sober right now. Emotional response may be affected...

yup, or the owner of the stored stuff dies, leaves the country, or otherwise can no longer be contacted by the storage site ownerD

Your post reminds me of something. In the aforementioned TV show, among the buyers who have allowed to take videos of their whereabouts, there is one person named Dave Hester, and he uses "Yuuuup!" quite a lot. In fact, that is printed on his shirt, cap, car and the truck he brings with him.

Hast thou heard the word? A munificent Emir received dispensation to proffer pre-rolled home-grown and has enlisted the spirits of Sinatra's Rat Pack to market the joints. Their marketing jingle:

"Do buy Dubai do-bee-do-bee doobies! Bye-Bye, Dubai Dudes!"

In small bands the drummer traditionally sets the tempo and beat to lead the next number. Along with tapping the edge of a drum she/he will chant in unison with the tapping, "And a one, and a two, and a ...". Music ensues.

[This has been attributed to several influential American jazz drummers but drums with chants were used to time cannon fire on post 15th C. warships and to time oars on ancient rowing vessels such as the Vikings used; the latter documented by Irish monks in the famous manuscript titled Jazz, jazz, and More Jazz by medieval jazzman Thelonious Monk. ]

That just goes to show you the lax privacy measures and intrusion.
Totally laxative , if you ask me.
Especially when the Captain was making a personal log entry, that happens.
