Just moved up the street from this location. My partner and I lost the keys to our uhaul, and needed to purchase a set of bolt cutters to remove the padlock. When we discussed why we were visiting with the lady behind the counter, she offered to let us borrow some cutters and return them at our leisure. All she needed was our name and a phone number.
