Occasionally I look at salvage airplanes out of curiosity and partly possibly of finding a deal.

This one a hail damaged RV-6 caught my imagination but not for purchase. Clearly a nightmare to any plane owner. Also a good argument for insurance, which fortunately this owner apparently had.
Wounder how big the frozen boulders from the sky where to do this damage?
Besides a hanger is there anything you can due. Would covers alone give enough protection. Also it brings up insurance. If you don't have in-flight insurance, ground insurance (ground not in motion) can be a worthwhile purchase and really a bargain, especially if tied down outside a lot.
This being thunderstorm session, this has always worried me when flying X-C, leaving the plane out side unprotected. Any ideas, comments? I guess if hail storm is forcast and the plane is outside, there's not a lot you can do? I guess you can hop in and fly in the opposite direction of find a hanger.
I would love to hear of any strategies for protecting your plane while parking outside, for weather, theft or other damage.
