Look at almost every rental agreement for storage facilities. The part nobody reads has a "weasel clause" stating that they are not responsible for theft or damage. Only exception to that would be negligence on the part of one of their employees such as running into your vehicle while scooting around in a golf cart or moving another RV (if they do that).
I'm fortunate in that I have a nice pad for my TT in my back yard (with it's own 30 amp power). If I were to need a storage yard the first thing I'd do before signing the contract is to do a "walk around".
I'd look for obvious signs that they take security seriously with lots of cameras that cover all areas and "Razor Wire" on top of perimeter fences. While walking around the fences look for obvious signs of recent repair where others have cut through the fence to gain access. This is a sign you don't want to leave your unit there as there are those in the neighborhood that don't let fences stop them.
It's too bad we live in a society where your nice things are constantly at risk from those who've totally screwed up their lives with drugs, etc.
Theft and attempts like this are so routine in many areas Police don't even respond to take a report. They direct the victims to a department website where they fill out the form online. Only time anything happens is when a thief is caught red-handed with stolen goods and then they go back through the online reports to see they can ID any of the owners of the "loot".
No wonder so many people would like to return to the measures taken in the "Old West". Present day justice system isn't even a speed bump to today's thieves. Sadly, I live in a state that is #6 on the list that shows the highest property crime rates. We're beat out by DC, NM, AK, LA, and SC.
Lowest property crime rate is NH. Maybe their thieves just disappear into the woods --------- forever.
Here's the complete list for 2017

Surprisingly CA (just above the median) and NY (way below the median) are fairly safe places for your property.
Amazing that our Nation's Capitol is the worst and Congress does little to deal with the growing problem which is mostly fueled by drug use.
