What a crazy story. Good to hear that you were able to secure some office space fairly quickly and get your stuff back. I love WeWork, when I was contracting in Seattle a few months ago the startup I was contracting for had a space at WeWork Seattle. What a great environment, tonnes of networking events, free beer on each level (all different types) that is filled daily, various games like foosball and ping pon you can play against other companies, they have definitely nailed great co-working spaces.
At least they let you in to grab your laptops and whatnot.
A bummer your landlord didn't pay the building with your rent money and you both got evicted. Good things people were able to work at home until finding the new office.
Btw, I have no association with this company, other than I like to keep track of their blog and events regularly as it ties in quite closely with my line of work. Thought I'd post as it's an article that fits in the startup culture of being able to adapt quickly and dealing with situations you can't prepare for, whilst turning them around into a positive.
