A burglary was reported at Forward Storage located at 5724 Shelby Oaks Drive, as detailed by the Memphis Police Department on their official website. The incident took place on September 18, just past noon, when two individuals exploited the moment an unidentified client was leaving the storage facility to gain unauthorized entry. These suspects then made their way into the residential space on the premises, inhabited by the storage facility’s manager, and seized various items including cell phones and laptops.
The site manager, victimized by this brazen theft, did not cower. Instead, he tracked down the suspects in the vicinity – a rare instance of victim confronting the violator. During this unexpected encounter, “the victim recovered his property when the suspect threw the property to the ground and fled,” as the Memphis Police Department report details. Unfortunately, the suspects remain at large despite this act of resilience.
