In rural Alaska, there's a tradition called 'Dog Day', once a year, on a well publicized date, it's open season on stray animals roaming the Villages. Sorry PITA, but it's a solution that works! When we passed a 'Three Strikes - Your Out' law here in Wash., I didn't realize that meant three Felony arrests and your not put in Prison anymore, their 'Out' on the street in 24 hrs.

Um yeah. That brings up the other sore point.
The facility is has Y shaped barbed wire all around. An electric gate which requires a remote after 5pm, other wise it's open all day.
And yes there are two stragecially placed video cameras. Placed perfectly to record who is coming in and out.
OH... BUT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!
When I asked to see the video, I was told that the cameras are not real. They are there just for looks!
WOW
That really upset me.
Then they told me that their contract informs me that they are not liable for theft, bla bla bla
I think there might be something legally with them having the cameras conspicuously located aimed at the gate, and me the tenant believing that there were real and to some degree, basing my decision to rent from there, at least partially, based on the fact that there are security cameras.
Any lawyers in the house????

Glad that you told me I was planning to visit Alaska but I dont want to be shot down in the middle of the street
In Alaska, your problem would be some little Eskimo Pie making you into a six month bed warmer, you are such a Stud Muffin!And ya, we catch copper thieves on Friday, and their back over the weekend, same guy's and gal's, yes, females too. One guy has 168 FENONY convictions - and counting.
This is not a Police problem, utmost respect for those guy's, it's a Legislative disconnect from reality. Prisions overcrowded? Plenty of open beds in the Morgue! Their choice!

As far as the stolen transmission goes... It was chained to the trailer with a very big chain and big locks.

Locks only keep good people out. Even a brand new master lock can be picked in a few seconds if the person is experienced. And if it was more than a few years old or had been used quite a bit, you can get it open with a couple of bobby pins in less than a minute.

Well at least they didn't shoot your dog.
Hard to believe a storage yard would go to the trouble of installing cameras just for looks. I bet they either stopped working or the yard just doesn't bother to use them. Either way, one could argue it's a form of misrepresentation -- i.e., tricking potential customers into signing up with fake security. Next you'll learn the barb-wire fence was made out of candy canes. It's amazing these guys are allowed to stay in business....

Tony, shouldn't this be covered by the Storage's insurance?

I have always wondered why you guys use such a bad locks in the USA.Looks like they can be opened in seconds without the key. Also at least in the movies all doors opens inside the the house. We have apposite system, doors open outside (for safety reasons, fire etc.) Also cops cannot brake in like they do in the movies 
Check out this finnish lock manufacturer, in most cases these locks cannot be opened without the key.I suppose about 85% of the Finnish homes use this manufacturers locks

Bad luck Tony, wish you get your trans back soon.
