Shurgard's 2005 Annual Report - Their last one


We're not intimidated by coming up with concepts for annual reports. We've done Shurgard's, for instance, since the year they went public a decade ago. What made this one particularly tough is that we knew it would be Shurgard's last. Earlier this year Shurgard agreed to sell their company in a not-exactly-friendly $5 billion takeover battle with Public Storage. So, we'll be saying farewell to a very generous, trusting, and decent client soon. Too bad the good guys don't always come out on top.
