Thoughts about the safety of their own savings can pretty much spoil the peace of mind, especially if their owner is determined to keep money and valuables at home, and not in a bank account or in a safe deposit box. You can put a safe at home and thereby immediately attract the attention of potential robbers, or you can follow the example of the underground millionaire Koreiko from the novel The Golden Calf by Ilya Ilf and Evgeny Petrov. Koreiko, as you know, kept his wealth in a shabby suitcase and was afraid to spend an extra penny so as not to attract attention to himself.
In modern realities, if you approach the issue with imagination, you can come up with several ways where to hide valuables in an apartment or house. We have compiled the top 10 such options.
1) A secret niche behind a mirror, bookcase or picture. It is important here that the external decor looks organic and does not betray its secret with obvious loops or suspicious protrusions.
2) Underground. You can literally make a hiding place in the floor and disguise it by placing furniture on top. The heavier and more solid the cabinet, the more reliable.
3) Fake pipes. You can buy a piece of pipe that looks like apartment communications and mount it next to a real pipe. Only a very thoughtful thief will be interested in where and from where another pipe leads.
4) Box for spoons and forks with a double bottom. The same can be done with the drawer of an ordinary desk. It can fit not only money, but also small valuables. It is important when cutting out the stash space to maintain adequate depth so that the external dimensions do not give away the internal size discrepancy too much.
5) Curtain rod. This option is suitable for those who have hollow (hollow) ceiling cornices installed. Inside you can put valuables that are suitable in size.
6) Inside the computer system unit. It is important to observe the measure so that the serviceable equipment continues to work without failures.
7) Inside non-working household appliances. For example, if there is a broken vacuum cleaner, hair dryer or tape recorder in the house. Disassemble, put valuables inside and reassemble the case.
