Happy Endings Can Be Found in Self Storage

• Sometimes in the North Kansas City storage area a wonderful story occurs.  It started out bad at first, but sometimes instincts take over and if you listen to those instincts, good things could happen.  Most people believe and do go with their instincts and when you do not, well, you know what happens. A manager at a storage facility saw himself facing a rather interesting dilemma.  He had a car in his storage lot that had been there for many months since he took over.  He inherited this problem and did not see any rent from the car’s owner in over ten months.  Normally this car would have been auctioned off or at the least towed away.  There was not much paper work on the owner of the car and phone call after phone call gave no answers.  Where was this owner?  It was a classic car from the nineteen fifties and it was in great condition.  Many customers came in the office to inquire about the car but the manager’s hands were tied.  He could not get rid of it in that way.  Without a title, owner, or rent paid for the parking lot in ten months he went the legal way to get rid of it. After a few more months of paper work, the North Kansas City storage facility finally received permission to get rid of the car.  He could sell it or have it towed away off the property and out of his hair.  The paper work came in the mail and he read it carefully and could have proceeded to get rid of it.  Something told him to wait though, and he did.  He did not know why but his instinct told him to.  He just felt something odd had happened.  It was too nice of a car to just give up on, and besides, the rent was only twenty dollars a month to keep this very nice and expensive car. One day, two men came in the office.  One was bald, very thin and appeared to be very weak.  The other man was the opposite.  He had a lot of hair and was built strong.  He spoke first in a very sad and depressed kind of way and started this story about how his friend had to go in the hospital for brain surgery not expecting to live through it.  During all these many months, he had forgotten, due to his condition, where he put his car to store because the operation and hospital time would be a long time, and he might never drive again anyway.  He described the car to every detail and had visited every storage place in North Kansas City storage areas.  It was the car this manager had.  The bald man was the owner who had the operation.  He survived the brain surgery and could even drive again.  The manager showed the young men the car and they jumped for joy never expecting to see the car again.  After the proper ID and all the paper work was done, the men jumped the car, it started, paid all the money owed, and the thanked the manager for never getting rid of his car.  The manager was excited too seeing the joy it had brought this person who survived so much.
