Seven places to hide cash in your house

The Daily Crux ^

It’s a good idea to keep a little cash in your home for emergencies. How much you decide to keep is up to you, but I would suggest keeping enough cash on hand to pay...

I keep mine in the bottom of a fake cat box complete with fake pelosis

“I would suggest keeping enough cash on hand to pay...”

To pay for what? TO PAY FOR WHAT!?!?!!

[China Clipper]

Well, crap, there goes seven good places to hide money......

[Always Right]

Well, seven places where would be robbers will be sure to look now....

[freedomlover]

I keep mine in the back of the doghouse. I sure hope that no one reads this and looks there.

I am trying to figure out the best way to hide silver. Any suggestions?

[Jewbacca]

1. Tie money in wad to fishing wire or twine.

2. Unscrew a light switch or eletric box. Drop money inside wall, hanging off wire.

I’ll hold on to it for you. I promise.

The article is really funny because the 1st suggested place is your freezer in foil - Bill Jefferson already thought of that place and got busted ;)

[Never on my watch]

Take Congressman Jeffersons advice, put it in the freezer.

It is actually a good idea. A fireman told me that in a total loss fire, everything in the fridge usually survives.

1. In the freezer wrapped in aluminum foil. Save a little styrofoam from the next pack of meat you buy and cut it down to the size of a couple large steaks. Put your cash in a Ziploc bag, stick it between two pieces of the used meat tray and wrap it in aluminum foil.

Didn't work out so well for William Jefferson.

I hide mine in my secret credit union account. Its safer there. In case of a fire I won’t worry about the hidden cash getting burned up or washed away in a hurricane..

lol
How kind of you.

[RebelTXRose]

These are great ideas - BUT - seriously, we all know where in our own homes to hide stuff...

My personal favorite is behind a picture on the wall - between the pic and the backing.

[SJSAMPLE]

I've found much better places.
And the cash always travels with me.

If you keep your front door locked and make sure the spare key is well hidden under a fake plastic rock with your favourite NFL team logo on it nearby, you won’t need to hide the cash.

That’s a great idea. The other ideas in the article are terrible, some of the first places people look (in the freezer, in a hollowed-out fake book, in potting soil, etc.)

I have a section of floorboards that didn’t get nailed down. They’re in a corner of a dark closet and they fit snugly so you don’t realize that they’re loose.

Beneath attic insulation is good, too. Few people are going to be determined enough to claw up a few thousand square feet of insulation.

Best place to hide stuff from non-LEOs: in an old paint can, in a plastic bag underneath a skin of dried paint, which is stored with other functional paint cans in the basement. Burglars aren’t going to go that far—they want to get in and get out fast. LEOs have to be really, really mad at you to dump all your paint in the course of a search.

But don’t get too clever. My late mother hid some of her jewelry and (we suspect) a substantial cache of money, and we never found it.

Hey, is your tagline IEEE compliant? :)
