Stolen parts

Went to the storage unit housing my '74 SB and its donor car and discovered someone had cut the padlock... upon entry I found that they took the parts I had powder-coated blue!

08/19/2006...

That could have happened to me. Does the storage company cover your loss?

sorry for your loss Jim.............thieves need to be put in bars or vice versa!

dark blue or light blue?

were any other storage units broken into? do you need to open up a locked gate to get into the facility? don't they have security cameras set up to video tape the units? does this facility have proper protection?

when I rented storage units I needed/wanted to purchase extra insurance.

I will keep my eyes open here. ;-)

Unfortunately, no. As they have no way of verify> dark blue or light blue?

Kinda in-between... think Dallas Cowboys silver-and-blue.

I made a walkaround of the property... three other units were missing locks. I opened doors and saw they had property inside... notified property owner of such.

No, it's an older property with no security fence. The sign says, "Smile... you're on camera!" but I can't see any sign of visual acquisition devices.

Thanks, guys! Jim -

Have you got homeowners or renters insurance ? Lots of times they also cover things you have in storage.

I know of one of those self service car washes that the same sign plastered all over. The owner was a friend of a friend and he told me that all of the cameras were fake. They looked real so you never really know. When was just out of school, I managed a King Kwik Convenience Store. They had these signs that said proctected by Dictograph Security System. Most of those cameras were fake. You would have thought that they would have invested a little money in actual real cameras. They did have one odd one that was actually a poloroid camera. You pulled a $2 bill from under a money clip in the cash register and it started shooting.
