Nobody said that self custody was 100% risk free, but sometimes it is better to put your fate of safety in your hands than depend on someone that you will be unable to know exactly when they have been compromised. James Howells is one of the very many cases of carelessness, but it is also a reminder that it is also a possibility and something that can happen to anyone. As we are all considering self custody this sort of reminders that come through stories that loss is still possible is very important to make us aware that there are still risks involved.
