Voter registration records seem off for this question, but I guess they could help if the owner is a local resident? Not really sure.

I feel like local court records could be relevant too, especially if there were any legal disputes involving the restaurant.

I'm not so sure, though. Could building permit records also show who owns the property? I remember something about that in class.

I think commercial filings might be the best choice since they usually contain ownership information for businesses.

I think the best approach here is to create a new NAT rule with the translation type set to None. That should exempt the flow from the default NAT rule.

Hmm, I think I know this one. PolarDB is a cloud database service, so it makes sense that it would support multiple engines like MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle.

I think this concept is related to what we discussed in class about cloud computing, but I'm not completely sure if it's specifically Software as a Service.

Purchasing NS&I Fixed-Interest Savings Certificates could be a good option, but I'm not sure how the tax efficiency compares to the ISA. I'll have to review the details.

Building permit records are the way to go. That's where you'll find the dirt, like how the owner bribed the inspector to get those permits approved.

I bet the owner of this place has a secret underground lair where they hold their weekly supervillain meetings. Voter registration records won't help with that!

Voter registration records? Really? I doubt the owner of a criminal front business would be registered to vote. That's just silly.

Local court records seem like the way to go. If there's any criminal activity going on, it's probably being covered up in the court filings.

I think the building permit records would be the most likely to help Janet discover who owns the restaurant building. Those records should have the property owner's information.
