I keep mine in the bottom of a fake cat box complete with fake pelosis
“I would suggest keeping enough cash on hand to pay...”
To pay for what? TO PAY FOR WHAT!?!?!!
That’s a great idea. The other ideas in the article are terrible, some of the first places people look (in the freezer, in a hollowed-out fake book, in potting soil, etc.)
I have a section of floorboards that didn’t get nailed down. They’re in a corner of a dark closet and they fit snugly so you don’t realize that they’re loose.
Beneath attic insulation is good, too. Few people are going to be determined enough to claw up a few thousand square feet of insulation.
Best place to hide stuff from non-LEOs: in an old paint can, in a plastic bag underneath a skin of dried paint, which is stored with other functional paint cans in the basement. Burglars aren’t going to go that far—they want to get in and get out fast. LEOs have to be really, really mad at you to dump all your paint in the course of a search.
But don’t get too clever. My late mother hid some of her jewelry and (we suspect) a substantial cache of money, and we never found it.
How about a 800 lb. gun safe?
That last time you came over? I hid my stash of money in your truck.
This is the truth and you can NOT take that to the bank.
Ha!
