To some renters, a public-storage facility is a “treasure chest” of priceless personal possessions. Within four walls and protected from others only by lock and key are some of the most precious belongings a person owns – a memory frozen in time by pictures; an award for something proudly achieved; mementos and trinkets that can lighten the heart and papers that can never be replaced. To deceive a public into storing valuables in their premises and swindling them into losing their possessions for financial gains is as abominable as the plundering “Pirates” of the past who were erased from the seven seas by the chasing ships of civilized jurisprudence.Well, imagine my surprise when I learned about “Piracy” that occurred off the coast of Somalia recently. After being repelled on the first attack, the Pirates were able to board a US Registered Maersk Alabama ship and took Richard Phillips, 55, the ship’s Captain as hostage. A US Navy ship, USS Bainbridge, was sent to the area and is currently monitoring the situation. The last attack on a US ship in Africa occurred in 1804 off the coast of Libya.
Are you kidding me?
