Top 5 Weirdest Things People Have Tried to Store

When you think of self storage in Morecambe, you probably picture the usual — cardboard boxes, tools, furniture, business stock, maybe that treadmill that’s only ever been used as a coat hanger.

But across the storage world, people have tried to store some truly bizarre things. While we’d never recommend it (and some are definitely against the rules), here are the Top 5 weirdest things people have attempted to keep in AC Self Store...

1. A Full-Size Canoe (But No Paddle)

Apparently someone thought it was a good idea to store their canoe… but forgot the paddle. We’re still not sure if they were planning to row it out of the unit when rent was due.

For legal reasons, we cannot show the real thing (lol)

2. A Stuffed Alligator 🐊

Yes, really. Our staff have reported customers rocking up with a taxidermy pet and asking for “just a small corner.” Creepy or classy? We’ll let you decide.

3. An Entire Vending Machine

Why sell snacks on the street when you can pay rent on a vending machine instead? On the plus side, at least they had refreshments for moving day.

4. A Replica Dalek from Doctor Who 👽

We love a bit of sci-fi in Morecambe — but imagine opening your unit at night and being greeted by a Dalek shouting “EXTERMINATE!” - Holy cow that's scary.

5. A Giant Inflatable Duck 🦆

Because, obviously, where else would you put a giant inflatable duck? Storage units are great for summer gear, but this one’s a bit too… quackers.
