Dropping off cold weather gear before the border

Hi, I was told that I could drop off my heavy riding gear at a bus station locker for a week or so with no problem , But when I called a bus station ( greyhound ) they said they check them every day....
Has anybody tried this or came up with some other solution for lightening the load.???
Dropping off cold weather gear before the border of mexico in the states (tx. ) and coming back for it about 14 days later is my goal.
I appreciate all suggestions !!

Thanks!!

Thanks ! Andy and Dave but I only have a few things and to go through the trouble of finding your location and hoping your home when I'm passing through on the way back may not be as easy as it seems

Of course, your interpretation of "cold weather" might be more severe than mine, but I found it was none too warm in northern Mexico. It won't snow but I wore my heated vest until pretty far south...
