You can probbly print out everything if you change smth in the source code, but that would be pretty annoying to do everytime you need to find a free storage.
Thats is why ORTS uses this:
https://github.com/orts/server/blob/master/data/Storages-Aid-Uid Used.txt
https://github.com/orts/server/blob/master/data/lib/miscellaneous/051-storages.lua

You should keep track of them, alternately have a function they go through, that logs eventual, new storage ids, but it's probably easier to keep track of them by writing them them once used.

You could use a simple text editor like Sublime to search through your whole project for "500012", or what ever it is, or for more unique search matches something like "getStorageValue(500012)", you could play around with it.
