Definitely a fire extinguisher, mandatory for the Chase, rules and ****.

You know us New Yorkers, my **** gets locked up. Lock is bigger than it looks, I had to wrap it in electrical tape to stop all the damn rattling.

I was looking at used AMMO boxes but being I was going through Canada (Buffalo to Detroit) I decided against it. Canadian Border patrol does not have a sense of humor, I think using an ammo box would be a good way to get to see the inside of the Border station and meet lots of fun and intersecting officers.

I found the box in my buddies guest bedroom, he was using it for a night stand. I then made it taller and made the lid with the leftover pieces of my old cedar fence. The whole thing is bolted down to a real WLA luggage rack from the Bay.
