SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (Jan. 10) - After serving a year in Iraq , Army Reserve Spc. Patrick Rogalin came home and found that everything he had put in a storage locker - essentially everything he owned - had been sold.
Several payments for the locker had bounced because someone emptied his checking account while he was gone.

"It's really insulting, after all I went through over there serving my country, to come back and have to deal with this," Rogalin said.

Rogalin, 20, said he put his belongings into a Public Storage unit near St. Louis before shipping out and set up automatic payments with the company. But while he was in Iraq, he said, someone accessed his checking account and cleaned it out.

After learning of the problem from his bank, Rogalin opened a different account and resumed making payments to Public Storage.

"When I got back I called Public Storage to find out the status of my account and they told me the contents of my storage container had been auctioned off in June because the bill hadn't been paid," he said.

Rogalin said Public Storage never told him his account was in trouble, or that everything he owned - clothes, books, electronic gear, furniture and other property - was going to be sold.

Do you think the storage company treated the soldier fairly?

I think that is a load of crap. I have had trouble with Public Storage before too. I put my belongings in there when I went on a deployment and while I was gone my locker was broken into. The company put a new lock on it and informed my ex-wife about it. When I got home and went to get the stuff we were told that we were 15 days late on our payment and that we couldn't have the key to the lock until we paid them. All the while, we had no idea how many of our belongings were stolen. I will NEVER use Public Storage again.
I think they should definitely reimburse him. And not just for the amount the stuff was auctioned for... for the full face value.

sure.

what the fucking hell?!? that man is working his ass off for you to charge him money. he's putting his life on the line for you to charge him money. hell, he's ready to give his life, just so you can have the freedom to charge this man money. oh, by the way, the public storage place this soldier was putting his stuff in should be closed, due to this single incident. hell, sue the fucker to the point where he joins the army/marines, and puts his life on the line. and see how he'd get treated... :mad

hows that rusteh? good enough? ;)
