Apartment Reloading Setup

[GLOOB]

How would you know if the maintenance people are known to steal?

Read the local news. Talk with your neighbors. Get to know the owner/management. Competent management? No problems.

and what could you do about it?

File a police report, notify the management, file an insurance claim, and talk with the neighbors. If it's a maintenance guy, and he's dumb enough to steal from tenants, he's probably going to get caught.

Course, if your stuff is worth a fortune, then that's different. But a few thousand dollars worth of guns... with serial numbers? No one in their right mind that works for the apartment is going to do that. Well, as long as the management is competent. I'd be far more concerned about other tenants with shady acquaintances. So look for the crackhead.

Just a quick note on how to set these up--my Lee press is mounted to a piece of 2x12. Three C-clamps grip that down to the corner of the kitchen table. Loosen those, and the press comes off quick and easy, tucks away in the closet.

How often do you actually reload? If not daily, why not just get a small footlocker with the capability to accept a padlock and store the press and components in it when not in use? Your small reloading bench becomes a plain old workbench.
