I suppose there is a slight chance that the Hertz rental did end up in that storage container. Maybe _it_ was the one that got damaged and auctioned off ? Drivingwild, did you ever learn anything about the original owner?
I used to do this, but no longer need to do this. What I have done is to read the threads I want and then go to the Forum home page and click "Mark Forums Read" on the bottom of the page (just below the threads and sub-forums for Marketplace). Saves a lot of time...
Doesn't that mark everything read? I guess it would be okay if there were fewer posts, but as fast as the posts are coming in these days, doing that would have a good chance of marking posts read you wanted to read.
just to add another data point that confirms our suspicions ... 'Storage Wars' star claims in lawsuit that show is rigged - The Clicker
It's entertainment...But don't be confused with "Tru TV", they give us Storage Hunters not Storage Wars. Not saying Storage Wars is fake or rigged but Storage Hunters is pretty laim IMO.
