There's "kit" in this story but no "kat." Don't storage facilities have a procedure to verify who deposits what. And security cameras. Is Tristan a known client of the storage facility? Maybe Vin Diesel drove the truck. Looks to me the storage facilities are on the take. Keep the load for a few weeks then demand payment to release the load. This way the storage space doesn't go unused.

You’re assuming a level of system coordination that doesn’t exist. The storage facility isn’t going to do a damn thing with security cameras unless the police order it. The police aren’t going to get involved unless there’s a clear shot at convicting someone. And storage facilities hold onto peoples’ goods for nonpayment all the time, that’s literally how the show Storage Wars existed.
