    Got home from work with two surprises! 1 the radio finally came and 2 a police officer was standing by it. Long story short, he said people were stealing packages in my development. Thank god this wasn't one!

I like the way it adheres to any surface too!
An asset when in a small cluttered room.

What a great idea. Get a tube of liquid nails and mount the radios on the wall, no shelves. Then use what is left in the tube to install new grill cloth. You have just tripled my display area.

Of course, and sadly so, if the radio was out of the box, and on the curb, it might remain there for weeks or longer.
