lease help me find my childhood photo albums — Crofton, Maryland
I'm hoping someone in the Crofton or Anne Arundel County area might be able to help me recover something very precious to me.
My storage unit at Best Storage, Crofton, Maryland, was auctioned on October 13, 2026,
Among the contents were MANY photo albums filled with photographs from my childhood and family memories. Both of my parents have passed away, and these photographs are irreplaceable to me. They are some of the few tangible memories I have of my parents and my younger years.
I'm not trying to reverse the sale or get any of the other belongings back. All I am asking for is the return of my family photo albums.
I went to the storage facility the day after the contents were removed and asked for help. The manager has been kind enough to say they would contact the buyer on my behalf, but I have not been able to get an update. I also contacted Severn River Auctions, but they told me they do not have records identifying the buyer.
I'm hoping someone who purchased the unit, attended the auction, helped move the contents, or knows the purchaser might see this post.
If you have the albums or know who might have them, please consider reaching out to me through a private Reddit message. I would gladly arrange a convenient pickup and cover reasonable shipping costs if needed.
I know these photographs may look like ordinary old albums to someone else, but to me they are memories of my parents and my childhood that can never be replaced.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I would be incredibly grateful if you would share this post with anyone in the Crofton area who might be able to help me get these precious memories back. ❤️
