I learned how to hide money when I was young, in part because
we had a busy house with lots of people coming and going. I had
some money buried. I also had some inside a wall in a closet.
It was accessed by way of a false panel that filled the space
above the closet door and was painted to look just like the other
walls. My parents may not have liked the fact that I cut a big
hole in the wall, but nobody ever knew. The video here has some
more ideas for how to hide money...
Let's look at a few more places to hide cash that were not
covered in the video...
Under Carpet
If you have a piece of carpet which is loose, you can pull
up a corner and put an envelope full of currency underneath.
A thief is not likely to know that the carpet is loose. Just
be sure not to place the money where people regularly walk, or
there may be a telltale crunching sound of paper to give the
location away.
Under Soles of Shoes
This is a trick I use when traveling, but you can also stash
some cash under the inner sole of running shoes that are in your
closet. Just be sure not to do this with expensive shoes that
might be robbed.
Inside Pillows
If you are handy with needle and thread you can open the seam
on a throw-pillow and insert some cash. Then sew it back up with
a few stitches. But don;t make it the best pillow in the house,
as this too could be stolen.
Piano Music Sheets
Sheet music is almost never taken by thieves, and it is not
a common hiding place for cash (unlike books). That makes this
location worth considering.
Under a Deck
A plastic vitamin container or or closing waterproof container
can be great for hiding money in a variety of places. A small
hole under the edge of a deck, for example, can hold a small
bottle full of cash. Be sure nobody is watching when you make
the stash, of course.
With a little imagination you can find many other places to
hide currency. There is also more on how to hide money in the
Secrets Package.
