    Worth noting that the standard Access Self Storage Ts & Cs specifically exclude liability for consequential business losses (and cap liability at the value of the stored items):

    Perhaps you've got an overactive autocorrect or aren't a native English speaker but it's not clear to me what you actually mean by your repeated references to 'this last', this last what?

    Anyway, it still sounds like you need to sort out exactly who you plan to pursue and how - assault and harassment by individuals are criminal matters that need to involve the police, but breach of contract is a civil matter that would need to be pursued by suing the company, so my point was that the latter would be judged by reference to the contractual Ts & Cs rather than any criminal actions of employees.
