I've been burglarized and they couldnt get to the goodies because I had a good hiding spot for my jewelry, thanks for for more ideas!

[@tony69em]

I feel ya

[@Kaylin_h]

One great idea was to use drawers out of older sets of dressers, desks etc. They can easily have wheels put on them to store things under bed for more space as buying them isn't cheap. Also I liked idea of using large drawers from unused/old furniture to make a coffee table etc. The drawers are most time consuming etc part of a build.

[@claygirl6133]

Great ideas for decluttering items that are usually taking up so much room and hiding valuables.

[@3frenchhens818]

These would make it hard for anyone cleaning out a house for an estate sale or even moving to a new house. Keep a list of these stashes so no valuables are left behind.

[@EZStudRack]

Great storage ideas! I needed more storage room and came up with EZStudRack, storage between studs...

[@sammimitsu]

Really useful. I'd never have come up with some of these ideas.

[@jax4868]

The tile one is my favorite

[@arunkhanna2990]

This is exactly why criminals completely wreck the whole house while searching for money and jewelry.

[@jamescook5487]

No they don't, there are certain places they will tear apart if its a common hiding place like the master bedroom closet. Thieves typically try to quickly get in and out limiting the chance someone will come home and catch them. Its also incase a neighbor sees them break in and call the cops, they want to be out before the police get there.

[@coolwater55]

Great tips. But understair storage and the hatch a big no no for safety. Kids in a house will leave one open..accidents waiting to happen.

[@judithfenske2311]

coolwater55 l Love this one. It was once just a cartoon!

[@marvahoeckelman2539]

The alternative is a door around the stairs corner and UNDER the landing. We had one in our 140 year old house.

[@sheryllknapp9803]

You don't have to cut up books to make a hiding things box, they have fake books at Hobby Lobby

[@yannettemiller]

I didn't know that, but I don't have a Hobby Lobby close to me though.

[@mrss4278]

I agree. Cutting up books makes me cringe.

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

They ALSO have the fake "book" boxes at Ross stores... and I'm sure they have them on Amazon etc. Cutting up books causes me physical pain.😳

[@sheryllknapp9803]

@@marciebulsaraorcutt True! And Hobby lobby has an online store so they can get them from there and use recycled craft paper. I don't know if that would be difficult to make but they can redo it if they make a mistake.

I would like to get the instructions on putting together the under storage for the bed as seen in number 13.

[@chrisgallo5397]

Although stashing your clutter out of sight may be a good idea, putting a door handle or drawer pull on your hidding space, makes it not hidden.

[@1978UA]

My godfather did that unfortunately he was always collecting silver coins. He had a business for many years but he had a small closet at his house, you could tell he had installed a lock on it. When they broke in they pretty much went straight for it. Didn’t bother with anything else.

[@faithm9284]

@@1978UA It sounds like an inside job if they went straight for the coins! They knew where it was hidden! Who did your grandfather tell in case something happened to him? You probably know them.

[@patscorner7183]

@@1978UA if I were him I'd make sure the only person who knows is only me -- not even my mother has the clue😆😆😂

We always thought it was an inside job. Unfortunately we thought it was someone related to his home provider.

[@lisastiles1408]

I agree that you shouldn’t put the bulk of your money or valuables behind things with a handle, knob, or pull. For things you really can’t afford to lose to theft, fire, or flood, that also must be stored at your house, a fireproof, locked safe is the only way to go. But there are plenty of things that would be very inconvenient and/or unfortunate to lose, but not devastatingly so, that might be appropriate to hide using some of these ideas, particularly if it’s a matter of just getting them out of sight and out of the places people usually store them. The scenarios you’re trying to prevent with these ideas are 1) a burglar that is looking to get in and out quickly and without detection, and 2) preventing someone that has permission to be in the house, say a repair tech or a party guest, from quickly finding and pocketing things like cash and jewelry. They don’t have time to look in every drawer or cabinet, let alone find which wall plate is a faux electric outlet. Even if they do chance upon finding one stash, if you’ve avoided putting more than you can afford to lose in any one place, they wouldn’t find them all. I think that’s key in deciding how to protect money and valuables-by first asking ourselves how much we can afford to lose, and taking appropriate precautions from there. Also, there are plenty of ways to hide the fact that something opens and how, no knob or pull necessary 😉🤓

[@amyrach7373]

note to self......never use one of these secret spots.......secrets out

[@gth882]

Still can add a good lock

[@MaryEnnismcats77756]

If you apply it to your own house...it can inspire ideas just for what you already have though.

[@TrudyConway]

Great ideas, but no so much for apartment/rentals where you can't do a lot of DIY

[@maryjanegreen7601]

The bed thing is cool, hinged, great for small spaces. More lift, more storage. Does not have to be 'secret' But you can prob find a nook or cranny in it for small stuff to be hidden.

[@helenposey1017]

The inside the sofa is a good one .

[@lamoon1525]

If I were a thief...I'd watch these with note taking. I loved the headboard ideas...I have a CPap that needs concealment.

[@totallyfrozen]

No thief is going to take the time to check for all these hiding spots. They’d be there for hours trying to check the whole house.

[@nancyranft4801]

Have you never heard of pin curled hair? I realize It's old fashioned but it makes a great curl and sleeps very comfortably. We didn't always have rollers or not enough rollers, they were expensive and terrible to sleep on when I was growing up! Bobbi pins were SO much easier to work with unless you had long hair then you just used them to hold the empty juice cans in place that were used because regular rollers were too small, lol. Back in the "way back" time about 60 or so years ago.

[@lisaclark6977]
