Top 12 Best Caches for Your Money

Unfortunately, in most criminal cases, a professional thief can find and open any cache in 5-15 minutes. Still, it's worth trying to protect yourself. That is why the Top-12 most reliable hiding places in the house are offered to your attention.

Use your imagination, and before choosing a secret place in the apartment, imagine yourself as a thief.

Option 1: a cache in an outlet. To do this, make a recess in the wall and close it with a fake cover for an outlet.

Option 2: a hiding place in a photo frame. You can buy such a frame in a specialty store, or you can make it yourself.

Option 3: stash in a drawer with socks. To do this, make an additional pallet and lay it in a mess with socks or other small things.

Option 4: a cache in the doorway. In such a place, you can hide valuables that are small in volume.

Option 5: a cache in the keyboard. However, if a thief can find out about him, chances are that the money will be stolen along with the computer.

Option 6: a cache in vegetables or. You can purchase an artificial vegetable and put it in storage with real ones.

Option 7: a hiding place in the garden. To do this, you should take a plastic bottle or jar of the required size, put your valuables there, close it tightly, glue a stone to the lid and bury it in a secluded place in the garden. The stone will serve as a guide for you.

Option 8: stash in a double-bottomed flower pot.

Option 9: a cache in a regular log. But keep in mind that it should lie in its place and not be conspicuous.

Option 10: double stash safe. Purchase two safes. In the first, put a small amount that you are willing to donate. As a matter of practice, thieves are limited in time. Therefore, when they find one safe, they will not linger to find another.

Option 11: a hiding place in a children's toy. Children usually keep their secrets from their parents in toys. Due to their large number and the eternal mess in a child's room, it will be problematic for a thief to find a toy cache.

Option 12: a cache in a stack of stationery.

If you are going to be away for a long time, it will be safer to take your savings to a safe deposit box.

But keep in mind that this is only a small part of the secret places where you can hide your money. Install an alarm in your home to fully protect your valuables. Take care of yourself and your home!

How to hide valuables, Picasso originals and other useful things that you, for some reason, cannot eat right now or stick into your hairdo.

Andrey Nevtonov

Vlad Lesnikov

There is very little money, gold and Picasso originals in the world. But there are a lot of people. This tragic dissonance leads to the need to hide valuables. Not only from intruders - after all, they may not get into your apartment. It's much easier for them to wait for you on the street, because as a reward for their patience, they get not only your money, but also a chance to hit you in the head with a piece of pipe!

Alas, in addition to the thieves, who do not visit you so often, there are other dark personalities who love to rummage through your things. These are, firstly, wives looking for evidence that you have a mistress.

And secondly, mistresses looking for evidence that you have a wife. And mind you, we have not yet said a word about the police officers, who also have the right to descend upon you, especially if you put on the windowsill a secret sign of a safe house - a pot of seedlings ...

In general, if you have something to hide, we will not ask where it came from and whether it is possible to buy another one there cheaply - we will just tell you how to hide a valuable item within the walls of an apartment, office or even a hotel room. In this we will be helped by experts - Colonel of the GPU of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation Ivan Bulych-Bulakhovsky and Michael Connor, the author of the book "How to hide anything", which was once banned for distribution in the United States. To equip the hiding place, you will need nothing at all: a lighter, a screwdriver, a drill, a jigsaw and superglue. Oh yes, more hands!

1. Do robots dream of electric money?

57%

Although it may seem that thieves are not good at common sense (after all, they just take money, instead of earning it through hard labor!), In reality they are not. Not a single attacker, for example, would risk his life in vain. Therefore, it is most logical to hide valuables where you yourself are afraid to stick your hands on pain of death or injury.

A trap or a neighbor's wife satisfies these conditions, but there is also an easier hiding place - a socket! Turn off the electricity in the apartment and remove the plastic cover from the socket. There will probably be a hole in the wall underneath, full of menacing wires. Among them, it is quite possible to hide money or psychotropic drugs that compromise you. If the hole is big enough, there will even be room for a chain hamster to guard the cache!

Just keep in mind that the objects that you hide in the outlet must not conduct current. It would be good to wrap any treasure with a rubber glove just in case.

Pluses Girls experience almost sacred horror in front of sockets. So there's no better place for a secret nightly sandwich, dirty socks, or sentimental mementos left over from your ex.

Disadvantages If you have absolutely no knowledge of electrical engineering, the risk of making a short circuit is still very high.

2. It seems that you are biting

If you have already joined the number of those rare lucky ones whose apartment has a toilet, consider that you have got an almost ready-made cache. And we do not mean a banal flush cistern, because this "safe" belongs to the number of checked ones - in the sense that thieves check it first of all. No, look deeper.

If you remove the lid of the tank (check at the same time if there is any money left from the previous owners of the apartment), then in most cases there will be water under it. A float will hang on its surface - a plastic pear on a stick that controls the ebb and flow of water in the tank.

Turn off the water and unscrew the float with a decisive movement. You will have a nice fist-sized container in your hands that can hold a rolled wad of money or, for example, a spare fist. Poking bills one by one through a narrow hole is a troublesome task. Therefore, we propose to cut the float, fill it with treasures and glue the seam with superglue. Better yet, weld it with a lighter or a not too hot soldering iron.

The Pros The beauty of a cache is that thieves will probably look into the cistern, and when they are sure the money is not taped on the inside, they put the lid back in place and no longer lift it (usually they don't have much time to check every potential cache twice ).

Cons It will be difficult to get to the treasures when you urgently need them yourself (for example, if thieves find you at home and start torturing you with a soldering iron, begging for money). In addition, there is a risk of spoiling the float or lowering its displacement, stalling the work of the toilet.

3. Pipe to nowhere

The writer of detective stories F. Dürrenmatt liked to repeat: if you want to hide a tree, hide it in the forest. If you extrapolate this advice, it turns out that the money needs to be hidden among other money (which will have to be borrowed from friends). However, you should not take Dürrenmatt literally. He just wanted to say that the least striking thing is that does not disturb the natural setting.

What are you used to seeing in the bathroom? A stack of MAXIM, summer tires, but, most importantly, pipes. They fit so naturally into the interior of a toilet or bathroom that it would never occur to anyone to count the pipes or wonder why they are here and where they are going. And this is your trump card.

Find somewhere (in a landfill or in a store) a pipe similar to those that are laid in your apartment. Take a suitable cut and hide the valuables inside it. Then install it parallel to a real pipe - for example, the one that goes from the sink to the main line, or to those on which there are taps that shut off the water supply. There is no better place for a hiding place.

Pros When changing housing, valuables are easily transported along with the pipe and hide in a new place.

Cons If you catch amnesia somewhere, even professional detectives are unlikely to help find the cache.

4. In the wilds of foam rubber

28%

People have guessed to arrange hiding places in the foam rubber of sofas and armchairs a long time ago. The thieves, in turn, guessed that people guessed about it. Therefore, they often remove the upholstery from furniture and see if there is a hole with treasure in the box. If it is not found, the upholstery is carefully nailed into place (a joke, of course; thieves have nothing else to do - nail the upholstery).

Fool everyone! Not only take off the cover from the sofa, but also take out some of the foam rubber. Then cut a hole in the part that is not visible on a cursory examination. Or cut a slot with a blade, stick your hand in there and cut a cache deep in the foam rubber mass.

When you pull out your hand (one day you will have to do this, otherwise the thieves will guess that there is something in the foam rubber, since you are sitting there), the edges of the gap will close together and the cache will become inaccessible. And you can nail the upholstery with a regular stapler. Or with the help of the unusual.

Pros If you hide valuables close to the surface, you can always make sure that they are in place by simply sitting on the couch.

Cons Sometimes sofas are stuffed not with foam rubber, but with such small rubbish that crumbles throughout the apartment, you just have to remove the upholstery. And in cardboard boxes that replace chairs for most bachelors, it is generally inconvenient to hide valuables.

5. Magnetic front

One of the few caches (one of two, to be honest) that you can equip even in an unfamiliar place. For example, in a hotel room or bank vault. One condition: you must have a refrigerator at your disposal. Not necessarily working - a model not connected to an outlet will do. All you need is a door.

The magnets that keep it closed are usually covered with a rubber sheath. Bend it back and cut it with a razor blade in an inconspicuous place. Some of the magnets can be easily removed (they are usually divided into segments, and if not, the soft material can be easily crushed or broken with bare hands).

The door will still close - half the magnets are enough to fix it. And the resulting rubber groove can be easily hidden rolled bills, columns of activated charcoal tablets and other small items.

Pros The refrigerator is perhaps the only electrical appliance that burglars rarely endure because of its size.

Cons If they do take it away, they are unlikely to be able to use the stolen valuables, they are so well hidden. It is doubly insulting. Neither myself nor people.

6. Rattling curtains

Another hiding place that can often be found even in a hotel is the curtain rod in the bathroom. Usually this tube with rings is hollow. Removing it is as easy as shelling pears if you have at least one hand. It is also easy to remove the rubber knob.

Make sure that the valuable item is smaller in diameter than the cornice tube. The fact that she will not fit is still half the trouble. In the end, you can cut circles out of money that will easily fit into the cornice. Worse if the thing slips to the middle of the tube and gets stuck there. Then the thieves will have to cut the cornice - and you do not want to once again bother people who are already running out of time without that time?

Pros You can hang a curtain on the cornice. Pull it back when you shower, and these awful puddles will no longer accumulate on the floor!

Cons If the tube is not hollow, but solid, it will have to be reamed with a drill. Okay, if it happens at the hotel, you can always ask for a drill at the reception. But where can a normal person get a drill at home?

7. Green and fluffy

77%

Since you still have a corpse in your refrigerator, a small inconspicuous saucepan with aspic is unlikely to attract attention. So hide your valuables in it! If the dish is opaque and unsightly, it will be difficult to see the object lying on the bottom and wrapped in polyethylene.

The ideal option is to forget the pan for so long that its contents have time to mold from above. Disgust is a powerful deterrent.

Pros In pans with opaque food (borscht, mashed potatoes, Coca-Cola), you can hide anything in a couple of seconds. So, if there is always something like this in the refrigerator or on the stove, the search will never take you by surprise.

Cons If thieves break into your apartment hungry, they can take away food at the same time.

8. Extremely inflated

The metal edging of the end of the tabletop, or, as normal people call it, “that garbage that is on the side of the table,” is good not only because it leaves puffs on clothes. With the proper skill, you can hide various necessary things behind it.

Unscrew the frame with a regular screwdriver. Drill a few holes in the exposed end with a drill. Use a narrow jigsaw or even a file to remove the bridges between the holes - they are usually made of a material that is easy to give.

When you're done, you will have an excellent narrow pencil case at your disposal, the depth of which is limited only by your requests (and also partly by the size of the original table). It is worth returning the edging to its place - and the contents of the case will be hidden from prying eyes. Voila!

Pros The butt is usually unscrewed at kitchen tables. This means that the cache will last you five or even ten years: kitchen sets are updated less often than other furniture.

Cons Getting to the cache is easy, but you will have to always have a screwdriver on hand. So you have to take it away from your neighbor for good or even buy it.

9. False stock

6,1%

A variation on the theme of the cache, already described above, is a decoy socket. Instead of digging through the wires, risking your life, just make a box of plywood (or steal a finished birdhouse from your nephew and drink the roof), put your valuable items in it and wrap it in the wall.

From the outside, screw the socket cover onto the wall. That's it, the fake is ready!

To divert your eyes, you can even stick a device into it that you hardly use, such as a vacuum cleaner, iron, or electric chair.

Pluses The decoy socket scares away no worse than the real one, but has even greater capacity.

Disadvantages A hole for the box would be good to lay at the stage of repair. Picking out wires out of a finished outlet is a troublesome task. In addition, you may one day realize why one of the sockets does not work for you. You start to repair it - and you feel stupid.

10. It pleases with every needle

If you are one of those people who keep cacti near the computer in the hope that they will save them from harmful radiation, then, firstly, you are a victim of a myth. And secondly, you have another cache that is almost ready.

Remove the cactus from the pot by washing out the soil around its roots. Don't be afraid to harm him! Cacti can go without roots for a while, so if you tear off a couple, nothing bad will happen.

Now core the bottom of the cactus. If you are not a latent Greenpeace person, it will not be difficult to do this. Hide the money inside and dig the cactus back into the pot. It may occur to thieves to poke them with a probe. But they are unlikely to contact the cactus itself. Thieves don't like pets at all.

Pros Cacti come in different shapes and sizes, and their abundance in an apartment is unlikely to confuse anyone. So, if you wish, you can hide everything in cacti, including smaller cacti!

Pull everything out and carefully remove the back panels. Then shorten them with a hacksaw or jigsaw (if there are external tin runners on the boxes, shorten them too by sawing a piece from the middle). Then screw the back walls into place. Put the drawers back into the dresser, hiding the skeleton behind them.

Now, if someone jokes around in the chest of drawers, he will have the complete feeling that short drawers are a strange whim of a treeman. Just do not accidentally drank off the latches, which do not allow the drawer to move out entirely. Otherwise, the thieves will quickly reveal the secret and laugh at you.

Pros In the presence of a large chest of drawers, it will be possible to hide even Rubens' canvas, or even his model, behind the supposedly short drawers, not to mention a stack of porn magazines.

Cons Taking things out of a cache is much more difficult than putting them there, so you will hardly be able to use its contents often. And one more thing: even if you hide a small thing, you will have to shorten all the boxes - their different lengths can throw a thief in the eye.

One secret: drywall will not sell if you put a sheet of plywood on it in advance, or even a box or a wad of money on the plywood. The weight will be distributed over a larger area and the ceiling will not collapse.

The easiest way to access the cache is through the chandelier hole. If it is small for you (for example, you want to stick your head in a cache and make sure that its contents are safe), you can widen the hole. But, you know, it will be easier to notice it this way.

By the way, the lamp, with which you will plug the hole again, can be coated around the edges with white toothpaste - this will create the illusion that the ceiling was whitewashed after the installation of the chandelier and it is firmly embedded. The effect will be even better than from the sticky note "There is no cache here, the chandelier is firmly embedded."

The Pros Most halogen lights can be easily removed from their sockets, giving you constant access to your cache.

Cons Ideally, the cache should be planned at the repair stage, otherwise the gap will probably be too narrow, and it will be possible to put plywood under a heavy object only from the neighbor's apartment on top. And then only after disassembling the floor there.

It's time for summer vacations - the most "haymaking" for apartment thieves. Returning from the resort, some realize with horror that in their absence, uninvited guests have thoroughly managed the house.

However, they can also steal when the owners are at work, away or in the country. The victims then harass themselves and each other for a long time with reproaches that they poorly hid money, jewelry, equipment or other valuables. Like, if the cache were more reliable, they would never have found it.

But is it possible to design such an ideal storage in an apartment? And where do our citizens prefer to hide what they have acquired by overwork?

Three-liter "bank"

In the most famous detectives unit in the country - the Moscow Criminal Investigation Department - "Rossiyskaya Gazeta" was consulted by senior operative Vadim Kolesnik. He, who uncovered more than one hundred burglaries, told in what sequence thieves usually ransack an apartment and where they most often find valuables.

1. Books. For some reason, the home library is considered a more reliable place for storing deposits than savings books. Thieves are often not too lazy to shake up volumes, check covers and binders, and make sure there is no secret safe in the bookcase. Sometimes the owners make caskets in the form of books. In vain! The typical picture of theft is scattered and tattered books, as well as videotapes and CDs.

2. Vases in the sideboard... They don't even hide there, but simply put jewelry, money, documents for convenience. They will climb into the sideboard not even in search of a cache, but to pick up crystal, sets and other expensive dishes.

3. Lingerie and clothing... Experience shows: in most cases, thieves will shake them up to the last sock, probing pillowcases, pockets of robes and lining of old jackets.

4. Furniture. Including tables, beds, sofas and pianos. A self-respecting burglar will surely knock on all cavities, doors, back and bottom walls. Shake up dressers, shelves, drawers, secretaries. Looks under the table, bed and wardrobe, rip up the linings of chairs and armchairs. Remember where Ostap Bender was looking for diamonds?

5. Equipment. They may not immediately look for anything in it, but take it away as valuable household appliances. They will find the cache later, during the "pre-sale".

6. Mezzanine. Thieves are not afraid of the abundance of trash. They will throw him to the floor and trample him in search of your treasures.

7. Paintings, mirrors and carpets on the walls... It is naive to stick something with tape to the back walls. It is even more foolish to cover a safe built into the wall with a painting - it will simply be ripped off. And the safe, if it is small, will not even be opened - they will break it out of the wall and take it with them.

8. Kitchen. Do not think that thieves will disdain to "diagnose" this production facility. They will not ignore not only cabinets, a table, chairs, a refrigerator, a stove and household appliances, ventilation hatches and shafts, but also cans of cereals, bags of sugar or vegetables. They will even empty the trash can - right there in the kitchen.

9. Bathroom and toilet. This is not special storage either. They climb into washing machines and cisterns, squeeze out tubes, break opaque bottles and containers, and disassemble plumbing cabinets.

10. Also. The walls and floors are tapping - parquet, panel, tile, linoleum or insulation - not a hindrance. The ceiling is also checked, especially if it is suspended. Learn the balcony or loggia. Flowers are often uprooted: what if there is a treasure in a pot? Neither children's toys nor musical instruments are spared - after the thieves left, the teddy bears were ruthlessly operated on, the violins were broken, the furs of the accordions were cut.

How to protect yourself from thieves

I will not name those places where thieves are unlikely to find valuables: after all, not only law-abiding citizens read the newspaper. However, there are cases when the aliens do not find the hidden money. Once the values ​​were kept almost in plain sight - and they survived safely.

But this is a rare exception. After all, apartment thieves are divided into two categories - professionals and newcomer guest performers. If experienced characters climbed into the apartment, then it is unlikely that you will hide anything valuable from them. They observe the chosen apartment for 3 - 5 days: they study the routine and habits of the tenants, find out the design of the locks, whether there is an alarm and dogs. Such an observation can be noticed: the constant "watch" of strangers, their presence on the lower or upper floors, marks under the doors - matches, scraps of paper, signs drawn with chalk.

As a result, the thieves will choose a time when no one will interfere with them thoughtfully and slowly to carry out a detailed search. Of all the thefts, half of them. They work neatly, with gloves, they do not leave traces. They have a modern set of tools - there are even electronic lock picks for disabling alarms and electric saws for opening safes.

If amateurs have climbed in, then in a hurry they may miss something.

The most reliable remedy for thieves is police protection. There was a case when they retreated from the apartment, barely seeing the alarm panel. Although the system has been shut down for several months for non-payment. Another time, a curious neighbor helped to neutralize the thieves - he spotted a flash of a lamp beam in the windows and called 02.

It will not be superfluous to install iron doors with two complex locks. If you have a first or second floor, put bars on the windows. The presence of the concierge reduces the risk of theft.

You should not trumpet right and left about your welfare. Information can leak to thieves, and they will be interested in you. Especially if you have drug addicts, alcoholics or difficult teenagers living in your house: they may well turn out to be gunners.

In Moscow alone, 25-30 apartments are robbed every day. On holidays and weekends - 40 - 45. Most often, burglaries occur in residential areas, less often in the city center.

Solving such crimes is extremely difficult, especially if only the money is stolen. That is, no things with special signs will come up from dealers. In hot pursuit, 5-6 thefts are revealed. A sign of the times: now thieves are easily retrained from ordinary thieves to robbers: if earlier, accidentally finding the owner, they ran away, now they often hit on the head and continue robbery.

Bear trap

It happens that cunning citizens set traps for thieves. For example, almost like in the movie "Beware of the Car", a trap is set in a heap of rags. And then to the box with the family's gold or to the safe, power is supplied, crossbows are installed and even mined. But more often the owners themselves or their relatives fall into these traps, who forget or do not know about protective equipment. In addition, some homemade products can cause a short circuit and a fire, or even blow up a house.

It also happens: I hid the money somewhere - and forgot. They wash clothes with money, burn their savings in the oven, throw them away with old unnecessary things. It happened that such absent-minded people would let their friends read a book in which the pages were lined with bills.

In case of burglary, time is the most valuable resource of an attacker. It can be significantly limited by connecting the apartment to the round-the-clock security console and storing valuables in a burglar-resistant safe. The arrival time of the armed squad is 5-20 minutes, and the task of the safe is to hold out against the burglar at this time. It is possible to further complicate the thief's task by making him spend extra time looking for the safe. Let's see how to do this.

Why the safe should be hidden:

1 - a well-hidden safe will not be seen by strangers. And the fewer people know about the fact that you keep something valuable at home, the lower the risk of burglary on a tip.
2 - in the event of a burglary, the thieves will find the safe. Yes, no need to indulge in illusions - after all, a safe is not a hiding place. But the search for a well-hidden safe will take some time, then it has yet to be hacked, preferably quietly and before the arrival of the guard.

✍ Write on the forum: The safe, as a rule, is made of ferrous metal. He's a ferromagnet. Modern devices make it possible to detect a massive piece of ferromagnet from a fairly large distance. But you still need to hide. Searching is wasting time. And the war is only for him. You can find and open any safe. It is important to look for longer and open longer.

How to hide a built-in safe.

Thanks to detectives and spy fighters, we are well aware that such safes are hidden behind paintings or mirrors. But using these hackneyed solutions is not a good idea: firstly, thieves also watch movies, and secondly, it will be inconvenient for you to open such a safe yourself. However, if you really want to try on the role of your favorite movie hero, then why not.

The painting slides along the guides, revealing access to the safe in the wall.

First you need to decide on the room for installing the safe - it should be impassable. , personal office, basement or attic are fine. But the hallway and living room in this sense are not the best options. The bathroom is also not the best room - high humidity can lead to damage not only to the lock, but also to the contents of the safe itself.

Next, you need to think about how to hide the safe. In the dressing room, it can be curtained with clothes on a hanger or made with boxes on the shelves. In the bedroom, the safe can be covered with a sliding wardrobe with a slot in the back wall or a bedside table.

Here are some interesting ideas for installing a built-in safe in my opinion:

A built-in safe is hidden behind clothes that are hung on a hanger. Convenient and not striking.

Dressing room through the eyes of a stranger, and how the owner sees it.

How to hide a floor safe.

Floor safes are the easiest to install and therefore the most common. With the choice of premises for their installation, the same rule works - the fewer strangers, the better.

After deciding on the room, you need to figure out how to hide the safe - pushing it in with something like a built-in one will not work. But you can still think of something.

The first discreet option is to build a safe into a closet. This option has two points to pay attention to. First, the size of the safe should be such that the cabinet closes normally. Keep in mind that safes with external hinges should not be pushed close to the side of the cabinet with the hinge side, as it will not be able to open normally. The second point - if the safe is heavy enough, you need to think over the design so that it does not push through the shelf or the base of the cabinet.

An example of installing a furniture safe in a closet. In the photo: Technomax GMT / 4 (weight 34 kg)

✍ The maximum allowable weight depends on the strength of the material and the thickness and length of the shelf. For example, the maximum permissible weight for a chipboard shelf up to 60 cm long with a standard mount is no more than 40 kg, 60-80 cm long - no more than 30 kg, 80-100 length - no more than 20 kg.

When there is a non-working microwave, a compact furniture safe and creative thinking. In the photo AIKO T-17 EL.

The second practical option is to install the safe under the table. The easiest way to install safes up to 70 cm high. Weight does not matter in this case, since the safe is placed directly on the floor and secured with anchors. As a result, the safe is covered with a table on three sides, plus convenient access for the owner without leaving the workplace. A great option for a personal account.

The third aesthetic option is stylizing the safe to match the interior item. For example, under a decorative cabinet or dressing table. With this approach, the safe will fit into the interior design as organically as possible, and as a result, it will not stand out or be conspicuous.

Not everyone will guess that this decorative cabinet is actually a fire-resistant safe.

Today it is possible to order the production of a safe in a hidden design - the desired size, color finish. This customization makes it easy to fit the safe into the interior. Photo - SafeWood 78 EL DS2.

✍ The cost of installing safes in Moscow in March 2018 starts from 2500 rubles per point - to the floor or wall. More often than not, this is sufficient.

Burglary protection is solved as follows: setting the apartment on alarm, buying a burglar-resistant safe and installing it correctly. This is the order and priority. How best to hide the safe is the fourth question. Answering it, it is better not to look for ready-made solutions, but to use your imagination. This is more likely to rob attackers of precious minutes and possibly save your value.

"Why, in fact, hide them?" - you ask. Indeed, at first glance, it seems that only a person prone to paranoia will do this. But no. This question is quite pertinent in real life.

As we know, money must be in a safe place, and a commercial bank is ideal. There they are not only supervised, but also bring profit to their owner.

However, for certain reasons, some citizens refuse to place their hard-earned financial resources in any institution. It is enough just to see on TV how one bank is being liquidated, and trust in all the others immediately disappears.

Not everyone can afford to put bars on the windows, through which current will periodically pass, and install an armored door. And not everyone will be able to dare to install video cameras around the perimeter of their dwelling, purchase the "GBR" button, which is in the pocket of the grandmother who lives next door, and also put a banner in the room where the money is kept.

In view of this, it is necessary to have one secluded place, where to hide money at home so that in the event of a break-in to your home, thieves will not find them. And even more so, you need to know where to keep your funds is not worth it.

See also Where to keep money at home in Feng Shui - one of the offshoots of the financial component in Asian philosophy. You can find out about keeping cash in the house, as well as about ways to preserve and increase cash, according to ancient Chinese methods, in our article.

This will become a precautionary measure against thieves who will come to your home when you are not at home, or the usual stash of 15% of your wife's salary, but these storage places will only be known to you alone (unless, of course, burglar thieves and your wife are not reading this article).

1. Safe

The classic way to protect your valuables at the time of hacking. Only this storage must be huge so that it cannot be carried away. Also, he must have the most complex lock that does not emit a click when typing a certain combination of numbers.

The safe should consist of high-strength metal, which excludes the possibility of cutting, sawing, shooting and even blowing up. Such a model can only be afforded by those who have their own house and security guards deployed around the perimeter (and a safe in case they want to steal).

2. Prominent thing

"Who would think of keeping money in a conspicuous place?" - just such a thought will slip through the hobby bugbear when he sees a beautiful casket or box standing in the middle of the room.

The psychology of a thief excludes the possibility of a quick search for the values ​​of his victim. He is convinced that she reliably hides her savings, which can only be reached by carefully probing the hidden places.

3. Lining in clothes

A stash in a wardrobe item is the best place to hide money in your home. . Get yourself one thing (preferably a jacket or jacket) and make a special pocket on the inside of your back. This thing will hang in your wardrobe as a diversion. Not a single thief would guess that she is also a hiding place.

4. Deception

Another psychological trick that will knock a thief off the right track. Make a standard cache (we will consider its types below) and put a small amount of money there. The fixed capital should be stored in the place, which were given in the example above.

Having found the hiding place, the thief will think that this is where his "jackpot" is limited, because it will hardly occur to him that this is a kind of "diversion" from the real place where savings are kept.

5. Deception - 2

Where to hide money so that no one finds it? No burglar thief knows the exact number of outlets you should have in your home. Make a recess in the wall in which you can store a wad of money, and close the hole with a socket cover.

Places, where to hide money not worth it

There is not a single place in this part of the home interior in which you can store money. There have been cases when a person, hoping to confuse a thief, hid bills in each book, one piece. The bugbear, of course, got tired, but he collected them in one large bundle.

Every book, be it Anderson's collected works, or the Bible, will be flipped through by a thief. And far from improving their intellectual level.

Think this place is a safe place to store your savings? Then put a bottle of champagne next to the thief. Since such an easy prey will become a reason for him for a real holiday.
