It is astonishing to me to see the crap so many people store in a garage that is maybe a couple of hundred bucks, and they park a $50,000 vehicle outside. It makes no sense to me. Even dumber is to pay a couple hundred per month to store it in at some storage facility. At my last job if I walked out the back door of the business it was right into a storage facility. We would leave to go to lunch and see their crew going unit to unit cutting off a lock on a unit that had past due rent. They would look inside and to see if it was empty and then throw a new padlock on it. If there was anything it went up for a auction once per month. They did not inventory anything unless it smelled bad then they looked for something dead.

It is a very profitable business evidently.
