Working in a jewelry shop can be dangerous. It can be dangerous to your pocket book, but with all the robberies I read about via jewelry news alerts, it's really not a joke. I'm not sure if this will really fend off robbers, but one jeweler has an idea for keep his jewelry safe.

From Jewelry Store Uses Live Scorpion Guards:

A Michigan jeweler is taking the "sting" out of crime by employing live scorpion guards.

The South Lyon, Mich., store owner is using a dozen scorpions to guard his one-of-a-kind and limited edition items.

It started as a temporary display of southwestern-style jewelry, but customers wanted the stinging arthropods back after the display went away.

A sign advertises the store as "the most dangerous jewelry store," and the stinging security staff would certainly make a thief think twice.
