Right, if he were a smart robber he would've started a bank or bought some rental property.

Storage facilities. That’s where it’s at.

Charge people massive money to store their stuff. Then when they forget or decide they don’t want to pay anymore after doing it for 2-10 years; sell the stuff to someone else. Then charge them a higher rate to store it short term and get rid of it. Then repeat.

No kidding, but I have rarely heard of a bad situation for storage facility owners.

I'm sure there are the ancillary costs such as insurance and occasional maintenance, but where is the down side? Commercial land is pricey, but not that pricey, and it isn't as if the buildings themselves are expensive.

Insurance is cheap. They keep it cheap by having you sign that nothing that could damage other stuff is being stored. And by having you sign that it is all at your own risk.

Heck you don’t even need commercial property. I know people that had a chunk of land in their back yard. They built the storage facility, had that chunk re-zoned, and BAM, they have a storage facility. Heck they get to write off their house as a business expense because they sell that someone is on site 24/7.
