Congressman William Jefferson, D-LA, recommends wrapping each $10,000 in aluminum foil and placing in frozen food containers.
“But just in case you aren’t kidding, consider that a fire or a burglary could wipe out that mattress stuffing in one fell swoop — with zero recourse.”
Keep it in the freezer, along with important insurance papers.

A friend if mine whose home burned to the bround in the Chevy Chase (Glendale) fire had his freezer go through the floor and wind up in the garage where even the manifolds on his ski boat totally melted and his papers and money was saved.
Ah, when my house got burgled, the thief completely tossed my freezer, as well as desk and lingerie drawers. Missed my hidden cache of mad money, though. Apparently even the most brazen of them won't approach a Tampax box.
