7 Creative Places to Hide Your Valuables

• Before you start reading this article, its
  important to understand that a high security safe
  is absolutely the most secure place in your home
  to hide valuables. This is undisputed, and if you
  have items of monetary or sentimental that you
  need to keep protected, talk to a local safe
  specialist about buying a safe that will protect
  them from fire and theft.
• However, if you already have a safe and its
  full, here are 7 sneakily creative places within
  your home that you could hide items of value from
  burglars

• 1. Large spice containers
• Hiding rolls of money or any other smaller
  valuables inside a large, Costco sized spice
  container right alongside your other herbs and
  spices is a great way to foil even the canniest
  of burglars.
• 2. Inside an old pair of shoes
• Rolls of bills can easily be stashed inside an
  old shoe, but just in case the shoe gets picked
  up and thrown about at any point, youll want to
  store only silent items inside them, and not
  something that might rattle.

• 3.Fake vent
• Fake vents are a little bit pricey, but if you
  want a creative hiding space that looks real, but
  cannot possibly be opened, then these more than
  fit the bill.
• 4. A hollowed out book
• You can find many hollowed out books on the
  market today, but its important to choose a book
  that looks genuine sitting on your shelf,
  otherwise it may stick out as unusual, and
  encourage a thief to open it up and look inside.
  Cash or smaller items of value can easily be kept
  inside.

• 5. An old paint can
• Many homeowners have old or semi-used cans of
  paint lying around the home or garage, and these
  can be a very convincing place to stash anything
  smaller that you want to keep safe and hidden
  from burglars. Just be sure to place the item(s)
  inside a zipped baggie to protect it while inside
  the can.
• 6. Beneath a house plant
• If you have a large house plant in a sturdy pot,
  you could wrap your booty in a zipped baggy and
  bury it deep inside the soil for a hiding place
  that few would even think to look for.

• 7. In fake plumbing
• Because PVC is easy to take down and take apart,
  you can simply take a PVC pipe and attach it to
  an existing pipe to give you an excellent hidey
  hole for cash or other smaller valuables.
• If you have a lot of valuables that wont fit
  inside your existing safe, the best solution is
  to either invest in a bigger safe (and sell your
  smaller one), or purchase a secondary one.
  Creative hiding places can be effective, but are
  always a slightly risky solution. Dont forget
  that items not secured in a safe may also not be
  insured.
