You might think your hiding spot is safe, but burglars know your tricks.

[Raycpa]

Our stuff is not worth stealing and if it is stolen then a trip to Goodwill should be an upgrade sufficient to replace most everything.

[rexthecat]

The bottom of your clothes hamper works.

[Kickass Conservative]

I was hoping someone got it. #;^)

"Hide a lot of money underneath a little money" The KGC used to do that also. If you ever dig up a mason jar buried about about 12 inches deep that has a few coins in it hit the hole with the metal detector again because there may be an iron cookpot full of coins at 3 ft deep. Don't ask me how I know. 😉

> I’m not talking. <

I'll be a little more open. What burglar would have the stomach to look behind my wall painting of Hillary?

Feminine napkins box.

[DouglasKC]

None of them are MY hiding spot!

[chesley]

That works for me.

[NEMDF]

Under the cat’s litter box?

Emptied paint can in a pile in the basement?

Box labelled “toddler toys”.

Even our wienerdog thinks she is Cujo when someone she doesn’t know is in the house. Not that she would be any help when we are gone.

Same here. The most valuable thing I own is a collection of Abbott and Costello movies. Not to brag, but I also have both seasons of their TV show.

In the old days a burglar would hit a house hoping for a big score. So why bother with a poor man’s house? But today many burglars are just looking for enough money for one drug fix. So any ol’ house will do.

“Feminine napkins box.”

Or a can full of fake, but very realistic looking used ones. Ewe.

Yep, an old bottle of OXY from your recent surgery is a gold mine.

My house is such a mess that it looks like it has already been tossed LOL.

[Texas resident]

Decoy safe with funny money.

[SkyDancer]

Yep - was going to write something like that but didn’t want to hurt the sensitivities of the guys here.

Cut a hole in the middle. At least it's good for something

Anybody seen “Papillon”?

"I was hiding my stuff in the toilet but it keeps disappearing.

Try putting it in the tank, not the bowel.
