I started watching this show. It's not my fave, but if there's nbothing else on, I'll watch it. My observations are:
Dave Hester is a d**k.
Darrell is borderline d**k, and looks like a beaver - what's with the tank tops???
Jarrod doesn't really know what he's doing and his wife's always p*ssed off at him - that marriage is probably in trouble.
The old dude who looks like Bono is okay.
Overall, I'd say all of these peeps are targets for robberies. They are on TV, flashing large amounts of cash around, we know where their stores are, we know they buy storage lockers in SoCal. What's to stop somebody from staking these guys out, following them, and robbing them of their cash? If I were in this line of work, I would absolutely not consent to being on TV where the whole world knows how much cash I'm carrying on my person.
If you rent a storage space and you KNOW you have something valuable in there that you obviously want to keep (after all, it IS in storage!), why wouldn't you pay your storage bill, or at the very least, if you can't pay your storage bill and you know your stuff will be sold, why wouldn't you come get the valuable stuff and leave the rest?
I'm not sure I really believe people are just leaving valuable stuff worth thousands of dollars because they can't pay a $300 storage bill. I think most of this stuff has to be planted so A&E can have a show.

Not planted at all.
I have purchased many great items out of storage auctions myself in Ohio.
People get behind and do not pay. Once they fall behind they are usually given time to catch up. Once they are 90 days past due the items become the property of the storage shed owner to sell so they can get paid for the tenant not paying their bill.
People do leave many good valuables in the sheds.
I guess if it were me I would at least get the better stuff out before I became late.
Some of the things other antique dealers and I have purchased out of storage sheds is unreal.

There could be a lot of reasons why a storage unit goes unpaid. Death, injury, simple forgetfulness (think senility/Alzheimer's/etc), personal finances gone to hell, divorce, et cetera.

1) Agree with most of your post.
2) Darrell has actually been pretty cool to the others and pointed out to Jarrod that the junky old safe was worth 3k.
3) Jarrods wife doesn't show off "her goods" that much but is a very good looking gal. She is also the brains of the outfit....no idea how he landed her but she is definitely the keeper out of those two.
4) I think that they keep showing the best deals so we are tending to see the cream of the crop and not the mundane things. I have a very expensive sportscar sitting in storage right now just using it as an extra garage for a few winter months and if I were older and didn't have family and had a heart attack etc. it might wind up being a surprise find. Pretty much whomever had the most cash on hand would wind up walking away with it since it's a no-brainer auction as it would be sitting there in plain sight.

My 1970 Torino is in a storage unit too, but everyone in my family knows it's there and if anything happened to me, they'd either go get it, or pay my bill. Or, in the alternative, if I anticipated I wouldn't be able to pay my bill in the future, I'd take the car out and park it in my garage and park my daily driver in the driveway. I'm not saying things don't happen, but it just seems people would have a plan in place when they have valuable stuff being stored.
