I wanted to do that but could not find a place . Secondarily I was looking for a place where I could put a motor-home inside and hook up the utilities.

A buddy of mine has his welding shop in a place that would be just what you’re looking for.
A friend’s husband owns a little warehouse complex that has more than one tenant who is also living in it. He has one of the buildings as his auto shop but he’s got another 8 units and half of them have garage type doors (but taller) and small office with great wide open spaces inside as well.
Moving your motorhome inside isn’t something I considered.

For you particularly to have a safe warehouse in a central place to have the tools and workshop and a leak-proof place of repair and refurbishment could be very valuable
Good point. We’re in a suburban town (10K families) and the companies here are mostly light industrial or a boatload of doctor/lawyer/accountant, etc types plus your normal retail.
Crime here is all about mailbox smacking, the occasional neighborhood break-in by someone caught the next day who also lives in the neighborhood. We average 1 murder every 100 years (true). Every area in town is a safe area

Sounds like Kennesaw, Ga where it unlawful NOT to have a gun in the household.
…unless you are a mailbox. …

It’s funny but our mailbox has been unmolested even though it should be an inviting target. It’s a 4 foot tall dragon. Been standing guard holding the mail for almost five years now.

I like that! 
True story…when hubs was living with the practice wife, they resided in a rural area and the demolishing of mailboxes on weekends was apparently a very popular local pass time.
After the fourth mailbox gave its life in support of bored teenagers, he decided to put a stop to it. So he dug about a three foot hole, well off the road so passing motorists wouldn’t accidentally hit it, filled it with concrete, embedded a pipe, also filled with concrete, topped it off with a mailbox inside of a mailbox with concrete in between.
Couple of weeks later, late at night, the sound of a clang, and a screech, and the next morning…broken glass and a streak of paint on the still standing box told the story.
And it’s never been bothered again. (I guess word got around).

Hehehe, aren’t you lucky she worked out the kinks? I salute his retaliatory design technique. Instant karma.

We often joke about that. 
(She might have missed a couple, I still can’t get him to slow down enough to eat without burning himself, but they’re fairly minor.)

Oh, I NEED one of those!
Deep down inside I have always known that somewhere in a parallel universe there is a me who is a dragon rider.

That’s both disturbing and cool.

Perhaps a giant toothpick to get the Mail out from getting stuck in his teeth
I made a sculpture of that some years ago using a broken lance to pick out the mail.

A very bright red-orange LED in the throat combined with a movement sensor might be interesting as well.
