Let's make a thread about how scouting a location saved you from a possibly sticky situation. Here's one that happened to me today.
Happened upon this factory/foundry and proceeded to drive by it a few times. I was so excited about finding this so unexpectedly that I parked and walked the property and showed up 20 minutes late to my coffee date. I walked around the fence and decided I would go in at a different date. As I was walking back around to my car I saw a note taped to a perfectly intact and strangely modern door. If you can't read the note in the picture it says "UPS, Please leave package at front door". Upon further inspection I saw there was a fully furnished and obviously active office attached to the building. I'm not sure why it's there or why it's attached to a dilapidated factory but I don't really want to go in to find out. But the upside is, if the office workers are nice and know who owns the factory I might be able to gain permission to get in.
