OK... Well, it's not everyday I see a person open a door to a small storage closet, walk in, and the shut the door behind them, and not come out for over 15 minutes. Especially when it's a storage unit that belongs to an apartment that is not even occupied. Let's put two and two together there, and either way you look at it that doesn't really work out.

How would you feel if every time you go someplace new the cops accost you? Want to try out the new ice cream stand? Well be sure to spare time for the pat-down search and dog sniff. Unless there's a clear emergency presenting itself just leave well enough alone.

How does trying out an ice cream stand, and stepping into a small storage unit, locking the door behind you, and not coming back out for a long period of time coincide?

Hold on, that was not the situation at all. He was concerned for the property of the management company.

Now, you're making assumptions... At the time I was worried what the person was up to? Was he going to break into someone's car, something else, was he just staying for the night, I don't know, but I've had my car broken into before, and I know I don't want to spend resources, or force someone else to spend resources to repair damage someone else did because I didn't think it was my problem.
This would be the first time I have called the police for anything. Personally, I'd rather avoid getting them involved, and was fully ready to knock on the door and talk about it. If my girlfriend had not been there, and I knew the person was in the storage unit I probably would have done that without thinking about other options. Of course, having the ability to discuss the situation before taking action, we both agreed that it'd be better for a police officer trained to handle such a situation, rather than me and my hiking ax.
