They claim nobody has seen inside the lockers until they cut the lock on the show.
Except on one episode when they rolled up the door you could see a piece of paper already in the locker with information about the filming date in large letters. Apparently, the locker owner was psychic. And the logos on name brand items are already taped over when the door rolls up. So they have clearly been in the lockers before taping. But they still make a big show of cutting the lock off.
Otherwise it is just too random that in so many lockers with stained mattresses and bags of old clothes there is also something very unique and valuable. That's what I put in my storage locker, empty boxes and a priceless artifact.
