In this video, retired security guard Curtis Hayes (31 years) walks you through 30 hiding spots that sit completely off a burglar's route, places he has no time and no reason to look: diversion cans and book safes, cleaning-bottle and plant-pot stashes, false outlets and toe-kick cavities, the underside of a drawer, false-bottom drawers, in-wall and false-panel spots, hollow stair treads, the attic, basement joists, and crawlspace, the kids' room, off-season coat pockets, the laundry hamper, the garage, boring labeled totes, the vacuum, and the boxes a burglar will not touch, plus the three that matter most, splitting your stash, the fireproof hidden container, the decoy that sends a burglar out the door satisfied, choosing the room he skips, and the bolted, hidden safe. A burglar is gone in under ten minutes, so hide it where he never goes.
Disclaimer: This video is for general educational purposes only and is not professional security advice. When modifying walls, trim, stairs, or cabinets, never cut structural studs and stay clear of electrical wiring, plumbing, and gas lines; if you rent, get your landlord's permission first. For irreplaceable items and documents, consider a bolted, fire-rated safe and proper insurance. If a crime is in progress, call 911 or your local emergency number.
