Note this part of my post: "but with the right protections... ." Having articulated it, I've clearly contemplated that issue.

Also, my experience is that working people are often far more respectful of other's property than the affluent, and having lived on both sides of that line of demarcation (I got through college and law school working construction, including some high steel, and driving tractor trailers), I feel pretty solid in my assessment. My experience is that the latter group that grew up that way (but never had to work for it) feels especially entitled to treat both other people and their possessions with disdain or contempt.

Finally, you're warning me, even though you rented to a BAND MEMBER? Why didn't you pick someone from a safer demographic, such as a member of the local chapter of the Hell's Angels, or MS13?
