> I put a lot of my coco stuff in a climate controlled storage place
When looking for storage, bear in mind that the only thing "climate
controlled" means about those places is tat it has a decent roof and your
stuff won't get wet.

To a certain extent yes. In this case since it was supposedly in the
dark, we can't claim it was from UV absorption that darkened it. Far more
likely that in the heat of the summer, it hit 120F or above in that shed
and something in the footlocker sent out some fumes, possibly even the
foot locker itself.
We don't usually have a clue what kind of woods those are made out of, but
some of the more "tropical" woods may well fill the locker with fumes that
aren't kind to the plastic. Even the finish on the wood may be guilty.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
