What prevents the storage locker company from going through a locker and getting anything valuable from it before they put it up for auction?

In some places that would be illegal so it depends on location.

Couldn't keep his mouth shut, started going public about A&E rigging the show (like everyone on the planet didn't know that), so they fired him and now he's suing.

I love the show (mostly because of Barry...that guy needs his own show), but I would always make fun of their cliche "Wait...what is THIS?!" exclamation right before cutting to a commercial. It's just supposed to be a fun show that sneaks a history/trivia lesson in to make it interesting. Dave was more annoying than anything. Can't say I'm sorry to see him go.

More about Hester's suit in the Storage Wars thread starting with NS1's post here.

is dave the guy who keeps bidding w/the intention of making the other bidder pay more, just because?

I don't watch this show as it would be even lower than watching something about the Kardashians. I just wonder how easy it would be to screw with the assholes that do this kind of crap for a living. Rent a locker for one month, fill it with buckets of raw sewage, boxes of moldy drywall taken out of a flooded house, spoiled food, etc all carefully hidden and sprinkle a couple of fake, valuable looking items around the front of the unit like gun cases with nothing inside. Default after a month so that it goes up for auction. Let the idiots pay a couple of grand for disgusting stuff worth $10 and then have to clean out the entire unit. It would be a bit of work, but it would be a hoot to show up at the auction and laugh your ass off.

I watched a few episodes, he was the worst part of the show and is the reason I stopped watching.

My dad loves this show. I can't stand any kind of reality tv.
I've always thought they rigged it by buying the units from the storage company, and then seeding expensive items before the auction. That makes the most sense to me.

i wonder if she did the keyhole where there is a nasty scar around the nipples or did the surgeon insert the implants sub muscular via the armpits.

The "keyhole" is done with having a lift & implants. They don't put the implant through the keyhole, the cut under the breast and insert it through there. The armpit method is great but difficult.

The reason why there is the keyhole is to remove skin (lift) and reposition the areola/nipple higher to get a perkier look.

for those who watch this, maybe I am missing something. They have 3(+?) seasons of this now.. so this guy was ok with being part of a typical scripted reality TV show for 3+ seasons and only now is upset that it's rigged, and wants to double dip by suing the network on top of making money for being on the show?

I can't stand Hester. The show will be fine without him or his shitty attitude.

According to the court docs.. he wanted to be on the show but wanted the producers to stop "salting" the lockers with items. He was supposedly OK with doing it in the beginning as they were attempting to get the show off the ground but liked it less and less as it went on. After he wasn't able to get anywhere with the producers of the show he went to A&E and complained to higher management who didn't really care. The producers of the show fired him, and now he's claiming wrongful termination. He's not double dipping as he's no longer employed there.

Berry is too. he got filthy rich by owning a produce market in LA. then he got into antiques and was very successful at that as well. please do your homework before you bash somebody.

He also has a car collection that rivals Lenos, not in size but in rarity of some of his cars.

I like the show. Even if some of it is rigged, who cares? Is the show entertaining? Yes. Does it have a trollop to keep your interest? Yes. Does ( or did) it have the requisite foil to screw with people? Yes. Are many things real? I suppose, but who cares, the show is very entertaining. This and The Walking Dead are the only two things I watch on TV.

That being said, I think Dave was the best thing on the show. His fucking with everyone got you sucked in to watch the show over and over. He will be missed. And I hope they don't promote the walrus Jeff Jarred to lead bad guy. No charisma, no menace, just a fat fuck who whines.


Peace
