I've traded some security for extra freedom. This is worth it to me. If something gets pinched then that sucks but I think I can trust our fellow humans more than that. Plus I never leave anything on it i'm not willing to lose.

I usually cover up with a blanket and I never leave anything on it that I’m not willing to lose.
