Wall Socket Pocket
I’ve been thinking lately about where to hide my money in the house. Not because I have any but more cause I like the cool stuff you can buy on ThinkGeek.com. Like the wall socket pocket.
They call it a “hidden wall safe” but I think that “Wall Socket Pocket” is better and I think I should trademark it!
Here is an interview with a former burglar about how you should hide your stuff. It’s like keeping a $20 in your wallet but your $100 in your sock when you visit New York…
Your best strategy, then, is to actually leave some money in obvious places for the burglar to quickly find (the same applies if you keep all your money in the bank). This can not only save your other stash of money, but may actually keep the burglar from destroying your place as he looks for where you have hidden your money. If they believe they may have found the cash that you have in the house, they are much less likely to keep looking (remember, they want to get out asap). In the end, if you hide all your money well, you may win a moral victory in not letting the burglar find the money, but you’ll likely have much more damage done to your place that will end up costing you more in the long run.
