Here are the 10 hiding spots the article says burglars know all about. (I'm sure clever Freepers have found better hiding spots.)
Under the mattress, Bedroom closet, Dresser drawers, Portable safe, Medicine cabinet, Freezer, Office drawers, Vase, Liquor cabinet, Suitcase
But of course your main goal is to stop burglars from getting into your house in the first place (dogs, lights, etc.). The article has some good links addressing that.

Landmines would be great except for all that legal stuff.
A bouncing betty loaded with dyes banks use or pepper spray perhaps?

Dragnet mentioned stuff like this in a few episodes.
Much still applies.

Have a decoy safe. Small and in one of those hiding places listed and relatively easy for someone to find. Bad guy thinks he got the stuff and hurries out. Gotta be quick about it! Best defense though is dogs. I have 3 and one who sounds like a 140 pounder and one who acts like Cujo.

How about the dirty laundry hamper?
Or that classic at the beach in the toe of my shoe?

Good idea. An old Mafia trick is to hide a lot of money underneath a little money. Burglar finds the small stash, moves on to look elsewhere.

How about we give 50 lashes for a first offense and death for a second burglary offense instead of coddling thieves?
Then we would not have to worry about hiding our stuff, or pay stupid taxes to hire millions of police and house millions of criminals.
Any crime of violence (rape, robbery, attempted murder, murder) - death. You get your trial, you get an automatic appeal where the case is immediately reviewed, and you get executed in 30 days.
