"I'd think you would have done this homework before committing to doing the shop work here"
"The AutoPlan/ICBC folks had even started writing up my policy in Burnaby before hitting the unexpected requirement that I needed to live in B.C. to purchase Restoration insurance"
how is it a 'cheap shot' that I thought you would have done what you now say you did?
the question then is why you didn't sort out the storage issue before you left town? sorry if that sounds like a 'cheap shot' .... I thought I gave some good solutions, including Canadian Direct for extra travel insurance, you most certainly can get coverage for more than "the depreciated value of a 1953 pickup", from them or ICBC - and it appears BC is not unique if Ontario won't give you any storage insurance either
and again, have you discussed it with the shop owner? can you get storage insurance using his address? does he have insurance on shop contents? do you trust him?
