Just put those boxes over there by the lawnmower

From now on, I say we brief new Presidents on how to properly store top secret documents. Do not store them in an unlocked closet next to the brooms and mops. It won’t do any good when we need the nuclear codes you took home with you if they are stored in boxes underneath a pile of broken down printers from the 1990s.

Likewise, who thought it was a good idea to store top secret documents in a garage next to an oil-dripping vintage car? Documents smeared with Quaker State High Mileage Synthetic are harder to read than a Heidegger treatise on the self.
