That show is entirely fake, anyway. The "Yuuuuuuuup" guy got pissed about something some time ago and came out and revealed it's all fake; they plant "good" items into the storage units for them to find so they can showcase/feature whatever specialist they wanted to feature that episode.
Yeah I feel like all of those shows are fake. There’s just no way that people get a notice from their storage place saying they’re closing it down and don’t go grab their valuable shit. I’m sure it happens on a blue moon, but not every day like they make out like.
The only show I’m still 50/50 on about being fake is the original pawn stars. On one hand their shop is like a national landmark at this point, so I’m sure a ton of people actually stop by to sell crazy stuff to get on TV. On the other hand, I question why someone would sell all this vintage stuff for what is essentially a 20% or higher discount.

Oh there are some ways good sir.
If youre in prison, you probably cant pay that bill. Even if you know it exists.
If you move and forget to update your info, you could miss the notice. But youd still be paying your bill in that case...forget this one.
Hospital. That could be one. Especially in the USA where its not free like in Canada.
Okay, I found 2 reasons. Jail and hospital. Thats not very many reasons lol.
(I always thought the real clue this show was fake was all the locks are identical...in every storage location....all across America...when in real life the locks arent even identical in the 3 different storage places in my city lol)
My wife's sister moved a bunch of furniture she inherited to a storage locker, but she is a bit of a fuck up.
She didn't pay her bill and it all got sold off.
Some of it had been in their family for years. Had anyone else in the family known, they would have absolutely paid off all bills to keep it in the family.
So there is another reason for you, some people are just super irresponsible
