Half of these furniture stores are probably money laundering schemes or something.

I used to be an assistant for an independent estimator, and we had a case where one of the employees accidentally bumped and caused damage into the back of their furniture warehouse. We roll up, the place just seems like a giant, ordinary warehousing store full of furniture - the place was clean, front desk was staffed by a nice latina lady, and the show floor had your standard assortment of various bits of furniture, seemed like another ordinary day. We tell them about our business, that we're the ones sent to examine and determine the damages, etc. Well fast-forward a bit, some manager comes slinking out from the back of the office and leads us through a backroom. Again, this backroom seemed nothing out of the ordinary, just your standard stuff you'd find in backrooms. Leftover furniture, tools, some minor junk lying around. The kicker though? The building was actually bigger than we initially thought, because this 'backroom' wasn't the actual tail-end of the store. He had to lead us outside of the furniture store through this backroom, behind some cargo containers, and behind the entire property towards another entrance that was deliberately hidden away; this next room couldn't actually be accessed from inside of the furniture warehouse. You actually had to enter this disjointed portion of the store through a security door that had a keypad. (We took notes of the damages on the outside of the building, but then we had to see the damages that were caused on the other side of the wall next.) So we stand outside of this security door that had a camera hanging over it and the dude pulls out a small radio from his pocket as he begun to talk in spanish . We wait and wait, and the manager initially seemed pretty hesitant about letting us in. When I think back on it, i'm sure we were being screened to make sure we wouldn't be dangerous, and i'm sure they were suspicious because of the fact I was young. Minutes would pass, and eventually the dude get another call on his radio. Door beeps opens, and immediately we were greeted by the sight of some bulky guy who notably had a gun in a holster on his hip. The whole wait already seemed a little odd, but it didn't become obvious as to why until we were met with the perplexing sight of all these illegal gambling machines having been set up as this bulky guy walked us through. Long story short, the furniture store was indeed a front. The back of the store was disconnected from the rest of the store, meaning you had to use a hidden entrance to access a hidden, illegal casino. The walls were lined with computer gambling, the floor had multiple tables set up for different types of gambling. The whole outside and inside the 'front' of the furniture store were all security camera'd, and being watched by a wall full of security monitors that was visible. Guards were eyeballing us the entire time as we did our work, and we got out as quickly as we could afterwards.

Is that pun intentional? If so, bravo, sir.

Why do they have some externals examine a damage on a building with their illegal stuff going on inside? It's like someone calling the police, because he got ripped of by his drug dealer.

I don't know. Suppose I could talk to the guy I worked for about it sometime and ask. I kinda sped up the story near the end paragraph simply because I was getting bored of typing, but I got the gist out anyway.
