I have my Skinny Ash setup between my mattress and box-spring. In case someone wants to step into my realm, I have that a few other surprises to greet them with. I've learned the hard way after being broken into when I lived in Chicago. Luckily I had a pit bull who gave me some time to recover. Dude got away, but not unscathed. No one every came back after they saw what I had to offer.
