The salient risk associated with the truck is the entire truck being stolen, not of someone breaking into it and stealing all our gear, because our gear was little resale value.
So, our policy needs to be one of physically disabling the truck so it can’t be driven away. Since the truck will only be driven to/from weekend games, and therefore only driven, say, a dozen times a year, we can go pretty hard on the disabling. Like removing key components or adding a wheel clamp, as Cameron has suggested.
Getting a warrant is not really a big issue, and it doesn’t have to be the gear officer who does it - it can be a delegated task.
Insurance is something we need to get, and as Derek suggests, the committee need to work out their claim/excess policy.
Also, having dedicated offroad parking is a nice-to-have that can be sorted out after we’ve got the truck. Our pressing issue is having a long term gear storage solution.
There seems to be broad support for this idea in principle, is the committee able to indicate when/if they are able to move on this ? Like all auctions, time is of the essence, so we need to move sooner than later on this, methinks.
