There is very little gold, diamonds and Renoir originals in the world.
However, there are a lot of people. This dissonance leads to the need to securely hide valuable things, reports Ukr.Media.
According to sociologists, about 40% of our compatriots prefer to keep money at home. The tradition of not trusting money to banking institutions dates back many years, and is widely covered in popular works of domestic culture.
If you remember, Nikanor Ivanovych Bosiy, the head of the housing society of the house at 302 bis on Sadova Street, hid the money received from the joker Korovev in the ventilation.
The mother-in-law of Ippolit Matviyovych Vorobyaninov hid the family jewels of the beloved novel “12 Chairs” under the upholstery of the chairs by Master Gumbs. Ilfa and Petrova.
The heroes of these works were ultimately unable to save their treasures. Is it possible to hide money safely, so that no one will find it? The most sophisticated and reliable hiding places, as well as places where money should not be hidden under any circumstances, — all this is in our article.
Where not to hide money
Closets
Most often, savings are hidden in such popular places as closets, wardrobes, chests of drawers, mattresses, naively believing that it is very difficult for thieves to find savings in endless piles of bed linen. Do not doubt, professional robbers will spend no more than 10-15 minutes on this.
Books
The second most popular place not to keep money is — these are books. How quickly your savings will be found often depends on the number of books in the apartment. If it is a dozen books of favorite writers and poets standing alone on a shelf, the probability of finding a stash is close to 100%. An experienced burglar can overturn an entire bookshelf in a few minutes.
Ventilation and drain tank
Uninvited guests will climb into the ventilation for a stash immediately after your cabinets and library are turned over. If the attackers do not find the treasured envelope there, be sure that the next place where they will look for your hard-earned money will be the drain tank — the place where valuables are stored is known even to amateurs.

A birdhouse with a double bottom, inside which you can safely hide spare house keys — a great idea for summer residents. Such a hiding place will perfectly fit into the country landscape, without attracting too much attention, and can come in handy in an emergency.

A small coffee table with a roomy drawer for storing various valuables. It is worth noting that the box has no handles, opens by pressing the side board of the frame and does not attract attention at all.

Enough space a hiding place, you can hide anything you want in it!
In the outlet
It is most logical to hide valuables where you yourself are afraid to put your hands for fear of death or injury. Turn off the electricity to the apartment and remove the plastic cover from the outlet. A hole in the wall with threatening wires will surely appear under it. It is quite possible to hide something among them. Just keep in mind that the objects you hide in the outlet must not conduct current!

In shoes
To hide a stash from your significant other or to protect yourself from street thieves, a hiding place equipped under the insole of shoes will help.
