Kraft pb jars are brown in colour. You can put a small container down into the half full jar. The thickness of the pb will keep the container in place and will keep you from having to paint it. Pb will preserve so you can keep it anywhere without worrying about it spoiling.

You guys need to watch Barry Cooper's videos "How to Never Get Busted Again" and "Never Get Raided". Both can be found here on KZbin, IIRC. He is a former LEO who realized that he'd been busting people for something that was harmless(weed). He gives really, really good details on how drug dogs sniff out your stuff and the (few) ways there are to keep them from finding them.

[@ehrichweiss]

Also, back in the early-ish days of hacking(but in the days of 386 or better computers) we used to transfer data to a C= 64 and then save that data to cassette tape. We'd then take that tape and put it in an answering machine. Some people bought the answering machines that would let you change your outgoing message via a remote. They'd have the "outgoing message" as the data and if something went sour they'd just call the number they had the machine on and change the message which would erase the data. Others would just put the data where the first or second message would be so that if someone left a message, it'd overwrite the data. Sometimes they had them setup as a form of deadman switch where if you didn't login to a computer or if you flipped a certain light switch, it'd call and do the deed for you. We had a semi-workable idea back in the day for destroying hard drives that current tech has actually made a LOT easier. I'll have to email you the details because I don't want it getting out before its time is due.

Taking out one of the cells in a 9volt would lower the voltage since they are in series to get up to 9volts. But someone could definitely confuse it for a near dead battery

[@michaeltempsch5282]

Some 9V cells don't have 6x AAAA, but a "Dagobert sandwich" style stack of flat cells w/o individual metal casings. For the USB rechargeable ones based on an LiIon cell and boost converter inside, you could create some space by switching the LiIon cell to a smaller one and still have normal function (lowered run time though).

When I was incarcerated I went to visit my brother in another unit. I had to travel and stay at other units before reaching my destination. While staying in a unit overnight, the following day we were in line to go board the bus. Standing there an inmate and myself heard something fall. We spotted a gold ring spinning on the floor. Quickly I pulled my eye glasses off and reached out and hooked the ring, pulled my face cream and stuffed it inside the cream. I managed to travel through several units and their shakedowns before getting to the place I was getting to. I gave it to my brother to trade off for whatever he wanted.

[@darkdragonsoul99]

There are trade offs when hiding things and the two primary ones are security and accessibility. It's it's easy to get it's less secure if it harder to get it's more secure but you're not gonna be collecting it in a hurry.

The sneakiest thumb drive I ever had just looked like a frayed USB cable. I bought it because it was silly thinking that everyone would know it was just a neat looking usb stick, but I actually had to stop people from throwing it away multiple times. If one were to design it to be really sneaky, instead of a frayed cable it could be an actual working phone charger, but also a usb stick that needs to be booted into to access the memory Wall outlets are probably decent places to hide things. They're available everywhere and pretty quick and easy to get in to, and theyre extremely permanent and rarely opened. There isn't a ton of space but enough for a roll of bills or something. I wonder if police ransacking a place would smash or open wall outlets Under the floorboards is a classic place to store bodies, just buy a pair of noise cancelling headphones for the beating noise and youre good I like the battery idea, though I would probably try to leave as much of the circuitry in there as possible, to camouflage the memory chip. I guess maybe if youre like a reporter in some country thats sketchy and youve taken photos of some shit that went down you could hide an std card in your battery thats in your camera, and then just have normal things in the camera memory card itself. Is that decent? I dunno, might be better to hide the battery in something else, but what do we even carry these days thats electronic that isn't just our computers? And they might just straight up take or destroy the camera anyway, though the battery might survive. Also square batteries are better than round ones, which tend to be more common in higher tech devices. A 9-volt is nice because theyre cheap and easy to take apart, but what even uses a 9-volt? I guess you could hide something in your smoke-detector, thats similar to hiding things in wall outlets, but hiding things in a house doesn't seem as applicable as sneaking things through some form of security I think you should try to think about some sort of goals when you go through this. Like what are you trying to hide? Who are you trying to hide it from? What are some things you need to be able to accomplish for it to be a success? Are you hiding it in a stationary location or are you using it to transport something? Do you need to be able to hide from airplane scanners? A lot of these seem kind of vaguely about hiding small things in your house, but like, what does stashing money around your house even do? Make the game mechanics of burglarizing your house more fun? lol, this isn't legend of zelda, no one is coming into your house and breaking your pots The non-openable containers meant for hiding things around the house aren't really solutions to any problem. How would you ever use those? You cant store drugs, because theoretically you want to use or sell those. You cant store data, because why the heck would you need to just store data and not access it? I mean i guess if you have like a couple secret files that youre using to blackmail someone you could hide them in multiple places around your house, but thats totally over the top. Way before you get to that point they're finding ways to deal with you directly. And theres little to no reason to hide money in your own house unless you expect it to be broken in to, in which case you probably dont have much money to hide, or you'd just move somewhere better. So yeah, i guess some poor hiding a few hundred dollars is a potential application, but I would argue that that person should probably have that money "hiding" in some company or stock, not in a physical location. What good does money thats just sitting there do them? Containers meant to be kept at home need to be openable. The soup completely fails as a hiding place. It's not getting through an airport, I mean I guess you could carry it around in a bag on like a train but its big and heavy and pointless. The only thing the soup can is good for is providing electromagnetic protection for the data inside it Hiding things flat against surfaces of similar materials is a good way to make them appear less visible to machine scanning

This all really depends on your threat model.

[@pirobot668beta]

I knew a contractor that had installed a hidden room. Access was the clever part: open a cabinet in the kitchen, wave a magnet around in the right spot, and the shelves and inside of the cabinet lift up, exposing the portal. Once inside, one could drop the cabinet 'liner' back into place. The only problem was wear/staining: getting into the thing was a tight squeeze, and trim-edges got worn down a bit.

[@logantidwell7698]

If you like hiding valuables around, you'll probably like this idea I've had. You can hide your valuables in whatever clever space you want, but I would recommend having a decoy for someone to steal. You have a small safe someone could pick up, a thief would probably grab that and leave. You could also put some things in the safe that would screw the thief over, like a GPS tracker, a USB with a virus on it, whatever you can think of.

Back in the day I owned a few mk3 Ford Capris. Those cars were like one big hiding place. You could pop off the side panels in the boot reasonably quickly and easily get 5 bottles of spirits wrapped in towelling in each side, and another 5 per side behind the quarter panel cards beside the rear bench seat. The fixed rear seat base also came up with a few screws and there was room for 10 or so bricks of 200 cigarettes under there (As long as no one sat in that seat). And my favourite. The steering wheel had an easy to pop out 2" centre trim piece that covered the mounting nut, but the nut was a good 4" below that cap. That was a perfect place to stash your condoms.......... where your girlfriend wouldn't find them. ;)

Brian's story reminds me... When I was a kid I had a variety of magazine subscriptions and I would keep dozens of magazines on my bookshelf. One of the magazines one time had some kind of ad that had a little pocket in it. Of course can see where this is heading but no lie. Another kid I rarely hung out with comes over, and we're just chillin in my room. Basically none of the rest of my friends would ever even think to read one of my magazines but this dude did, grabbed the one that had the stupid ad in it, and when he got to the ad, actually reached into the little pocket and pulled out the freaking money. Being a kid, it was only like $10 so not a conspicuous amount of money. I still can't believe it happened. A totally bizarre thing.

King of Random did the mayonnaise jar a few weeks back. Paint the entire inside and put a sheet of card stock in as a lining so the paint doesn't scratch.

That way if it's opened, you see actual mayo unless you pull out that smaller can to access the inside compartment.

I have one that's been tested in real life many years ago during the height of airline security: Lotion bottle with opaque lotion, obviously. Purchase the one with a snap off rather than screw off lid/pump. Remove carefully. You'll need to snap it back on for continued functionality. I put the contraband in plastic for protection (melted cig pack plastic to be specific) and then jammed the packages way down into the lotion. It got thru multiple flight gates and 2 physical inspections. The contraband scent and view remained hidden. These days you have to use really small bottles so it makes it a bit harder for airlines but the idea scales and any bottle can be used at home or regular travel.

There was a trend for a little while of making pocket survival kits/hiding cash in chapstick tubes. Apparently you're just going to break the bottom most of the time but if you get it off you can put quite a bit in there. My only problem is that I've never kept up with a tube of chapstick long enough to get halfway through one, and I'm not sure it's even possible to maintain ownership of a single tube for more than about 1 month so I've never been able to trust one with a couple hundred dollars lol. But take a flat head screwdriver and pop the part that twists off gently and try not to break the little tabs that hold it in place. Then you can stuff things in there and replace it, then screw the little bit of chapstick back on top.

[@SleepyNoid]

One of my favorites has always been the fake "covered cable intake". Using one of those wall boxes for outlets or cable lines from the cable company and a flat wall panel to screw it into.

I placed a concrete planter on top so no one could see it & me & my family used it for years to put stuff in like a house key , key to the shed ect nice ideal .

One of my good hiding spaces, long ago, was inside a carefully modified VHS cassette - smaller spools allowed for more room at the back of the cassette. Hide the cassette in the recorder, which would play, and people were none the wiser. If you were inclined, you could also use the cassette for trafficking purposes too.

Smoke detectors chirp when the battery is dead because they're hooked up to the house mains electric supply. The battery is there as backup for if the power gets shut off. When the house power is on, the battery isn't being used. They go dead naturally over time. Removing the 9V battery or putting a non-working one in will make it chirp unless the power is cut from the alarm as well. Leaving a single cell in the 9V battery wont work because it will only provide 1.5V (1.5V x 4 = 9V the way it is wired inside).

Had to run through the comments before I mentioned the same thing. He was asking for it with that AAAA comment lol

[@cheeseyoger]

Some smoke detectors are purely battery powered and they still chirp when the battery gets too low

Came here from the short, tried to put the title name exactly into the search and it didn't show up. This video is shadow banned.

have a six-tap with decorative flourish on the top and bottom which is intended to cover the socket, _but_ the original packaging left on it (because it's riveted in for some dumb reason) provides a paper barrier to hide contraband in _either_ the top or bottom, so then once plugged in and fastened to the wall's outlet as provided by its instructions, it would require the unit to be unfastened and removed to check underneath. It's completely socially invisible, because not many would think to check somebody's plugs.

Brian you would probably like my favorite kind of flip flops. Its the Reef brand, Fanning model. They have a nice arch support plus a bottle opener on the bottom. Yes, that's right, just pull off either the left or the right and open your favorite brew. Much better than stashing 25 cents for later.

The two of you are what we used to call a think tank. Gather up a few dozen more like-thinkers, and you are a force.

Quite a while ago, a trick I did a couple times was to put a SD card inside a diskette. You lost the functionality of the diskette, but, if you labeled it with something like "Christmas Shareware Games" nobody would ever be truly dismayed if they popped it in a drive and it made a bunch of funny, bad sounds and didn't load. However, that was then, and this is now. I don't have a diskette I'm willing to pop open, but I'd bet good money that a micro SD would fit in one of the upper corners, and not interfere with functionality, nor add a slight bulge like a full size SD card did. Or, now that I'm thinking of places one could fit a micro SD... behind the CD holding portion of a CD case, provided it's one of the opaque variety, would work nicely. A little double-sided tape would prevent it bouncing around. The best food container hidey-hole idea I ever saw, was a Tupperware-style container with another, separate container inside of it. The outside bowl was beat up and scratched, like it was old, and had been used a lot, so it already couldn't be seen that well inside of. Filling the space between the two bowls was spaghetti and chunky tomato sauce, and on top of that, some kind of, epoxy layer, sealing it all away from the lid of the inner bowl. It got nasty looking, but didn't smell. My friend kept it beneath one of the seats in their car. If someone pulled it out, it looked, and felt (sloshing and all) like an old, forgotten spaghetti lunch. No one ever opened it (who didn't already know the secret) because it looked like it'd smell fucking awful. IDK how long one could expect it to last, but it can't have been to expensive to make. It'd definitely last for one good, long, interstate daycation. -cough-

Just an idea, for the marker it would be much better to put an SD card or MicroSD card in. You could even store 2FA backup codes or the like on it. Just have two or three boxes of markers.

The problem with shoes as a compartment is that they’re very obvious, the OSS during WWII used to hide small blades in the soles and the heels could hide a radio. Also the sprinkler head most people have external sprinkler systems so you could check for non functional heads by turning the system on. If you need to hide things on your person the inside of the waistband is decent and the SOE would make curved poking instruments that fit inside the seam of the waistband, also the hem of a woman’s skirt has been historically used to transport messages.

[@johnbeauvais3159]

I should add that the sprinkler head could be improved with the addition of a pile of dog poo, people tend not to want to touch things near poo. For long term use make up some fake logs using expanding epoxy foam, but in the short term you can’t beat the real thing

[@helmetmcbaron]

Finally an actual useful video I've been looking to see how to hide contraband for a while

[@Jistarii]

I work in a prison. You'd be amazed at how ingenious they can get

[@Matt_Rowan]

For that mayo container, I'd want to paint the walls of it white then pour cement or plaster in there with a hollow to still give it some heft, but have a cavity large enough to put something substantial.

[@WORLD-yd6es]

Maybe the can would eventually be found cuz of the mould thats coming out from the rotten beans.

[@boxoboxes3403]

You could open up those new style led bulbs and stick stuff under the led array then it would still work and be hidden in plain sight

[@leppeppel]

I knew a guy in college who hid his weed in a hollowed out highlighter. It worked great until his roommate threw out the obviously dried up highlighter.

[@prettypointlessvideo]

Be careful with those batteries! Disconnect each wire seperately and stop them from shorting XD
