>>981935Plausible back story: you're a site inspector for an insurance company, specifically the property & liability coverages. Vacant properties have to be checked out too, especially with the recent Oakland warehouse fire. An inspector won't need to know much about the specifics of the coverage. But they will need a credible inspection company to pretend to be working for. This will include a phonied-up inspection checklist with company logo, business card, fake supervisor contact, and maybe a polo shirt with logo, gear bag, etc. Camera and camcorder. Fake list of all the properties you have to get to that week. Act in a hurry, and alarmed at the attractive nuisance posed by the property, hobos, broken fences, etc.
Will have to look up the property owner and some of their specifics..."Sir, I'm just doing a site survey. Our inspection contact at Amalgamated Amalgamated Ltd (property owner) is Jane Doe in the risk management department, this is the *second time* the underwriter at Tokyo Marine has scheduled an inspection, if I don't get this back to him then an NOC (notice of cancellation) is going to be issued. I thought for a second you were my contact today...figures they'd forget to set it up again. I'm almost finished here, meanwhile call my boss, he'll back me up."
Only thing I can think of, to possibly flummox security or police so they let you go. With this story they may think you're technically an "invitee" and not a trespasser. Of course if you're risk averse enough to do all this, you probably shouldn't be mucking around in hoboville in the first place.
