Successful Ways To Hide Your Valuables From Thieves

By Steven H LaPhae


I find that the best hidden safe to make use of for hiding your valuable things is not one that sits behind a painting. Those are so clich that they're almost never deemed hidden mainly because every robber knows to look there first.

The time I was still a child, my parents' residence was robbed. My pops, being quite successful, was targeted by somebody that knew to check first at the rear of the painting within my dad's den.

Though deemed state-of-the-art, my dad's safe was not complex enough to keep the thief from opening it as well as taking around $100,000 in cash and thousands worth of my mother's jewelry.

Today that I'm more mature, I have made a decision that a traditional hiding safe is not for me. Aside from safety deposit boxes, I use diversion safes inside my house. These types of safes are made to resemble ordinary objects in which thieves won't ever think of looking through to find one's prized possessions.

There are a few of these disguised safes in my home in which I keep cash and jewelry. Many of them sit in plain sight but a filcher would never bother going through them, just like the Scotchguard diversion safe that sits on a shelf in my mudroom.

One more is a Pringles diversion safe that sits in my pantry alongside bags of chips and also cereal. Simply because looters do not have time to search cupboards nor do they seek out snacks in the middle of a job, I figured that important family heirlooms are safe in these types of misleading containers.#BREAK#

Diversion safes also are excellent presents. I bought my dad a Peanut Butter diversion safe. He felt that it was a novelty product initially. When he understood the genius behind this kind of secret safe, he couldn't stop saying thanks to me for it and also wonders the reason why no one thought of this sooner.

Conventional safes could be useful however the reality that they are placed in the most obvious hiding areas is disconcerting. The best hidden safe is the variety that appears so invaluable that it could not possible have valuables. I do think diversion safes are the perfect hiding spots even though placed in plain view.
