Renting a shop?

[Bill-B]

In about a year, you will look back on this and say "that was a bad idea":drink:

call your insurance agent and tell him your car will be stored offsite and see if it will be covered if this guy gets shitfaced one night and torches the place after he passes out in a pile of his own vomit and a lit cigarette. better to know up front than be sitting there with a pile of molten metal

Yeah, whenever I store my car for winter I always have insurance for it.

If your budget allows for this, also install 1/4" wire screen material over the windows of the rented area and one of those wrought iron security storm doors. It's something about shops and tools that make crackheads crazy enough to break into buildings. This will also put an added burden of security on your landlord because he would be the only other person with access to the space if some things start to mysteriously dissappear.

I had a situation where my office space was burgularized during the time when some renovation work was going on in the building. I know it was an inside job amongst the employees of the building management but it was very difficult to prove that any of their guys had anything to do with it being that the main security doors to the building had been left wide open during that weekend. All that to say that had the doors been locked properly, I could have held the landlord responsible.
