    It appears you were still at the yard when this took place?!?

    Wow. I'm surprised the yard let you do this. If it were my yard I'd toss you both out with instructions not to come back.

    The yard pays rent/mortgage, pays wages, pays insurance, maintains the property. They advertise for business, invest in all the equipment. All for the opportunity to make a profit.

    Someone comes in and takes their profit opportunity -- on their property.

    And you say it's ok if you don't get caught? Really?
