It was a rough weekend for Traci Scott. Since Friday, her car has been stuck in the Extra Space Storage facility near 76th and Good Hope.
On Friday, Scott went to her storage unit and parked her car in the garage. When she was finished, she tried to leave, but the garage door was shut and locked.
“I put my code in outside, and it wouldn’t open,” Scott said.
By Friday night, the storage facility staff was gone. Scott tried calling the emergency line and spoke to multiple customer service representatives.

Scott even called Milwaukee police, who responded along with the fire department, but they were unable to open the door.
“I’m trying to take it well, but it’s really difficult,” Scott said. “I need my car; that’s just it, I need my car.”
As of Monday afternoon, Scott’s car is still in the storage facility, and a note on the code box says the door is temporarily out of service.
