    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.

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
