The stomach has always been a good hiding spot to avoid customs Inside speaker cabinets was always my favorite, before I could afford a safe. For small pieces of paper with important information, behind the backplate of a mobile cell phone (usually nokia) So how many people have said 'inside themselves'?Quote: < mysterious and dirty. It repels the casual observer> Ew! There was a hole in the plaster of my wall that was covered by a poster (a la Shawshank Redemption). I used to hide stuff in there from my roommate who used to steal shit from me all the time. Canada Tora Bora Mountains! these are genious Rob!! i have a book on hiding places. i think u should write one too. Inside my room mates shoes, no one would dare look there. Fold a top-secret document until it is the same width as your door. Tape it to the top of the door (not the frame). in nice big fancy pens with refillable ink resevoirs, if you take the ink part out, theres enough room for some cocaine. PLUS after you pour it out, you can use the pen as a straw to do lines!!! If you want something to get read, hide it under the bed. Everyone looks there :-) There is loads of room inside a printer and most people wouldn't think to look there. The best place to hide an elephant is in a herd of other elephants. The best place to hide an elephant is in a herd of other elephants. behind the wall When living in Portland, I had to buy a new smoke detector to replace a dead one. I crafted the old one into a home-made safe, as I thought it'd be a good place to stash a little extra cash in the event of wallet loss/earthquake/Y2K/whatever. I ripped out the innards, which includes a radioactive component (be careful removing that, wear gloves, and dispose of them and wash your hands thoroughly when you're done) and I stashed $300 inside. Enough to acquire basic ammenities should I suddenly find myself in a "World Without an ATM". The secret hiding place worked for years. Never did my friends even ask why I had a smoke detector at each end of the hallway. Never did anyone think to search the smoke detectors of the building for hidden moolah. And therein lies the rub. I have lived in Seattle since 1999. Somewhere in an apartment in Portland there is $300 in twenties stashed in a dummy smoke detector. I won't say where, but if your apartment has two smoke detectors in a 30 foot hallway, you may be richer than you think. The secret hideaway worked so well, even I overlooked it. Yes, but telling you would nullify its value. I have a wicked hiding spot. your anus Oh yes! In the hollow underneath the bag o'dirty diapers in a diaper pail, Diaper Genie or Diaper Champ! NO ONE wants to open those up! if you have something that can't be destroyed by water, freeze it. no one checks the freezer. i learned this handy trick when i didn't want to use my credit cards. froze them in water and i couldn't impulse spend. I don't, but my keys do. every time i put them down, they run off to their little hiding spot (which changes daily, perhaps even hourly), and I have to run around the place looking for them for at least 5 minutes, often longer! Damn you, keys, and your ability to hide! My belly Rob, how do you come up with these super tips? Love your site! I hide things inside boxes of feminine products myself... The rectum still works incredibly well. But not my rectum. My cat's rectum. --Bronson Radish Yes, but I'm not telling! Make a simple false-bottom to a divided section in a fishing tackle box. Place the item underneath. cover with a tangled mess of barbed lures and bare fishhooks. my bum - Inside a large speaker - Behind the fridge - Underneath the bottom drawer of a base cabinet - In a drop-tile ceiling inside my skull. it's almost completely hollow. Rarely-read books can be used to hide thin documents. They're sitting right on the shelf in plain sight, too! Under my brother's dresser! ;) Oh, and down the crack between the oven and the wall. NOTHING is ever recovered from there! I love your site. My favorite hiding spot is at your mom's house...BURN! Under the skin. -K.M.K, Hyde Park, NY. Surprisingly, the top of kitchen cabinets (that have a 2-3 inch recessed top) that are a few inches away from the ceiling are very effective. It's amazing how many people don't look up there. Empty food boxes (cereal, rice, mac n cheese) work good as long as the person rummaging has no interest in food. I can testify that this will not work in lower-class areas as the person who broke into our house at the time actually stole a box of cereal, milk and a cured ham along with all the electronics. Along the same lines as the hard drive, pretty much any non-functional device not worthy of snooping or stealing (depending on who you're trying to hide it from) will work. Under the kitchen trashbag in a canister is one some people won't think of. The same principle applies to a bag of dog food or any other "have to dig for it" areas. I'll have to send photos later (I'm at work). Inside floor speakers. Aside from the magazines under the mattress, you mean? My mother hid Girl Scout cookies from us by putting it in the base of the grandfather clock. It's funny, you can see it if you stand right next to the clock and look down, but we never noticed for years! bake file into cake My ass crack! I made a dinosaur Halloween mask out of a cardboard box, and now that it is after Halloween, it is sitting in my closet. The hole for my head in the mask is an easy access point for inside-the-box hiding. The "playroom" of my house has a balcony that overloooks the living room. From this balcony, you have access to a large, built-in self that rests on top of a nook area for the TV and media equipment. there is a little nich that is invisible from most of the living room, which makes a great hiding spot for hide-and-go-seek, spying, and secret items. the inside of an old external harddrive. Many houses have a staircase that is entirely walled in by drywall underneath the stairs. Look around enough and you might find a cabinet that will give access underneath there if you just cut away the drywall in the back. you can hide just about anything above the tiles in one of those tiled celings. i had a teacher in high school who kept a gun up there after the columbine shootings. on a lighter note, i had a few friends who put a couple fish up there, and it got terrrible in that room. no one had any idea what it was untill it rotted thru the celing two months later. The human rectum is an excellent mobile hiding spot, although it may take some practice to store larger items. You can begin by storing smaller items such as change, pocket watches or drugs. After you train your body to relax, eventually you can hide bigger items such as gold bars, clock radios, or even fists. The real value of this hiding spot is that there is a deterrent to checking it. Pulling things out of your rectum isn't a big job, but it is wet, and it is a hassle. Accessing this spot is a pain, even for thieves that are already inside your house. If I told you about it, you'd find my pot of gold. I keep my passwords written on a small post it that is taped to the dummy plactic PC card in the card slot. Another great hiding spot that few think of is the almost surely unused floppy drive or zip drive on their computers. Like the HDD, it can be gutted and put back together pretty easily. If you have built-in drawers in your house, like those found in common kitchen cabinetry, closets, or built-in shelving areas, there may be a good hiding place about. First, see if one of the drawers is low, with nothing below it but the floor (often this will be the bottom drawer in a stack of drawers). Pull out this said bottom drawer compeltely, and set it on the floor beside you. Odds are, there is a NICE vacant cubbie spacethat exists below the drawer but above the floor. It's clean, it's easy to get to, and very unlikely that a casual theif would check UNDERNEATH the Tupperwear drawer. =KB my family was of the "hide your money in the pot of flour" generation...'cause who's going to look there? Otherwise we're pretty open about everything we have...if we want to protect from theft we put it in the safe. The decoy litter box. Just have to pry the cat away from it and into the real litter box. And also remember which one is which. Marissa M. no Now, where can I hide myself? Well you can go the classic route and modify a drawer in a chest of drawers to be slightly shorter then the rest and then you could hide stuff behind a false back. Chances are if a burgular is tearing apart your house, they are going to be too rushed to see if you stashed anything back there. I used to have a bed frame made of hollow metal tubes. The ends of the headboard and footboard had plastic semispherical caps to close up the tubes. It was a good hiding place for papers. Now I have an antique table that has a weird hidden shelf on one side under the top. Unless you take the top off or spread out the leaves, you wouldn't know it was there. I hid papers in it for a long time but now it's where the router lives and is not much of a hiding space since there are wires hanging out of it. If you were running from someone in a galaxy far, far away, and happened to be on a snowy planet, you could kill and hollow out a tauntaun to hide in! Only extremely perverted people would think to peek inside a dead, frozen tauntaun. The bases of many porcelain lamps are typically hollow and covered over with felt, which makes them excellent hiding places. After all, who would think to look inside a lamp? in my asshole Up my ass! closet under the table There is tons of unused space in major appliances. The back of a clothes dryer is easily removed gaining access to all kinds of space that would be overlooked by most people. In my oven. Nothing ever goes in there! A balloon up my ass to Spain. In a Herbalife distributor's head. Lots of space! In my ass. inside a book, for flat stuff like money. In some bathroom sink cabinets and drawers, there are supports directly above the openings. By curling your hand up you can wedge things in there and usually people will not find it. Cheers! Inside my computer, and inside hollow animal sculptures throw something in a plastic bag, then throw it in the dog food, or the flour, or something. Who's gonna look in old food? A family friend of ours was so determined not to be mugged while traveling through Mexico City that she hid her passport and all her money in her crotch. if you have a blank socket plate in your wall at home, you can remove it, cut the heads of the screws, and superglue them back into the holes, causing the appearance of the installed plate. then use some of that tack adhesive for hanging posters to hold it in place! you can either make a small compartment behind it, or use fishing line, attached to the back of the plate to hold onto whatever you want to hide.... INSIDE THE WALL! -Chaise I have hiding spot that I consider to be relatively awesome; a hollow can of Pledge, featuring a screw-on bottom. This can was packaged as a hiding spot (not something I made myself), but I think if someone were so inclined, they could create one out of something they usually have around the house. The space inside is, as you might expect, more suited for holding some wads of cash or jewelry, but unless someone actually picks up the can, it's very effective. The problem I most encountered were inquiries based on the odd juxtaposition of Pledge in my house.. Most cars have a horn button or pad that is easy to remove as long as you know where to pull/pry. A great place to stash a few bucks (maybe more these days...) for when you need some gas but seem to be out of cash. inside those three-dimensional puzzles An empty cereal box kept with all your other cereal boxes. It may not be effective against your roommate, but it would be against a thief. Unless, of course, he/she wanted some Captain Crunch. Since it's hard to find film for polaroid cameras, I put papers into the old cartridges The inside of a breast implant. in a car's door paneling, in the brake fluid tank (wrapped in plastic), in a cigar box in the underwear drawer, in a tied-off condom in someone's belly, in a secret compartment in a pink suitcase, in the back-tank of the toilet (wrapped in plastic), in a hollowed-out vermont teddy bear, concealed in hollowed-out gumballs, spun like cotton candy and stuffed into quilts, packed into the back of an unscrewed air conditioner's condenser or refrigerator's motor casing. Also packed into oranges if they are finely cut with a sharp blade (the skin will go back together seamlessly and color+texture will keep for 2 days if dipped in a pectin-salt solution). I sometimes hide money in my Gamecube's empty network adapter slot. It is actually pretty frustrating because I can't hold onto a dollar for more than a day, so I end up having to remove my Game Boy Player, then the network slot cover a lot. So lately I have just been hiding my money in plain sight on my desk. If you're a musician, chances are that any instrument cases you have lying around the house contain excellent hiding spots for all sorts small trinkets. My trumpet case has enough nooks and crannies to hold all the Nixon tapes, as well as a couple Rolling Stones bootlegs. I've always wanted to cut a hole in the center pages of a book to create a secret compartment, but I've never really owned any books. Once I can afford one, I promise I'll cut it up though. --Daniel Hovercraft in my pants... no one goes there! Backup-battery spot in an alarm clock. So Rob, what do you have saved on those mini-CDs? You sure seem to want to hide them pretty badly. I mean, if it's a backup to your computer system I can't see any reason to HIDE it. If the thieves wanted your data they'd just steal the computer. What on earth could a man have downloaded and then burned to disk that he didn't want to save on his personal family computer?!?! I can't think of a single thing unless.... EWW. Work My bagina, if you want to hide anything from a male, just put it in a box of tampons (old or new). he won't go near it! I do! But it's so awesome, I forgot where it is. I have an old book from the 40's or 50's called Blood Money. We keep money in it. Is that great or what? Well, that and its in a cupboard where people arent likely to look for a book. lol In trailers, doors are hollow. So if you pry the side open just right, you can stick a entire doorsworth of hidey stuff in! A good place to hide money is inside a picture frame, behind the picture. Jason www.jeffthefish.com if you carefully open one small part of the peel of a thick-skinned orange, you can hide something inside it and replace the peel "lid." this works only for small objects that can be wrapped in a plastic baggie, that you won't mind too terribly much if they get wet, and that you don't mind storing in the fridge. also, orange must be periodically replaced. and don't eat it. The pedestal base of a on older CRT computer monitor is hollow. Who lifts up a computer monitor to check underneath? In the back of my playstation 2. The moon Yes. When I lived in England for a year and did not have a bank account, I kept my cash in a book titled Hidden in Plain Sight. above the pannels of a drop celing At the office, my coworkers often help themselves to my pens. So I tape them to the underside of the desk. (where the chewing gum hangs out.) Easily accessable, but out of sight. When I lived at home, I kept the magazines which I didn't want mom finding in the dresser. Not in the sock drawer where anyone would look, but in the very bottom. If you pull the bottom drawer completely out, there is usually a thin bottom under the drawer which keeps dust bunnies from climbing in. three or four magazines can lay there while the drawer slides above. My parents keep a spare house key in the doghouse out back. What thief would put their hand in with a dog they don't know? Especially since the dog is outside whenever they aren't home. those are awesome... A suspended ceiling is an excellent place to hide stuff. "Um, in the butt, Bob" If you have a baseboard heater. On the ends are metal covers attached with one screw. Do not put any thing in it that will melt, but money and jewelry will be fine. well i like to tape stuff to the bottom of stuff like chairs bunghole I have hidden cash in phonograph record sleeves; delightful to discover it years later! I had 2 awesome hiding spots in my penthouse apartment. One was underneath the hollow marble square base of a glass table. Remember you can't see through marble and who would guess it was hollow? Although the glass table top and attached marble base was very heavy to lift up, it was large enough to hide lots of things if you bothered to do so. The other spot was a cabinet in my kitchen. It was impossible to see unless you knew it was there. No handles or holes in the door for handles. The hinges were inside the cabinet door so you didn't even see those. It took about a year after I moved in to find it. It was large enough to hold at least 6 or 7 guns, or other contraban. All you had to do was push up a little on the bottom of the door and pull it out to open it. When I showed people they thought it was very cool. I had a small model of the Eiffel Tower and the spire was hollow but opaque, so i used to hide rolled up money up there. no joke- i have a fake leg and have put stuff between my thigh and my artificial on several occasions. Another great hiding spot is in the little area under the bottom shelf on most bookshelves. No one ever looks there! You can hide just about anything inside of a Shoe Box or larger Office Storage box that is labeled "Junk Mail" on the side. Old plastic deodorant canisters...you put your weeeed in there. Your ass. My skull is hollowed out, I keep paper clips and other office supplies in there so the people in the other cubicles won't steal them. Inside feminine care products (maxi pad or tampon boxes) Pull the product out stash your stuff inside and then restock the box. Also you can open up a maxi pad, with out exposing the sticky stuff, place cash or your secret stash in there and then seal it up again - it will look unopened. Do this if carrying alot of cash, without flashing your loaded wallet around. Just don't use that pad for its original purpose later - do you know how many germs are on money??? EEEEW!!! Great for trips or spying roommates (as long as they aren't stealing your feminine care products, that is.) I simply seal things in envelopes. Write something on the envelope to make it seem boring, like "oil change receipts". Nosy people won't open the envelope because that would give away their nosiness. a lot of people don't know this, but you can put your weed in there! inside electrical outlet covers my cat's bed! When I was a kid I hid my dirty magazins stash inside my floor speakers. I had rigged the back to just pop open. A place I hid stuff as a kid that worked well was the space under the bottom drawer in a set of drawers. If the set has a plinth type base there is a nice 3 inch high space between the bottom of the drawer and the floor. If any thief is reading this, I keep all my liquor under the sink in bottles marked "bleach." audio equipment, such as your Hi-fi stereo, if you unscrew the caseing is usually far roomier than the harddrive. and again for roomate's is a good hiding spot. but then again thieves might steal the whole thing & sell it & never know they also got gramma's jewel's. So I suggest a better & roomier hiding space. A 1987 full surround cabinet 52 inch projection TV. Email pk@phillk.net & I will send you pictures of the one I disassmbled. you could hide small people (2-4 Results vary!) in it & keep it operational! My stash of yarn for knitting. I have hidden everything from Christmas presents to spare cash under a mountain of wool. In a house of non-knitters, who else would go through the pile but me? How about the dead space in-between cabinets in apartments. Most people wont know there is a space there and even less will have a look. under the bottom drawer of a dresser. inside the access panel for the shower pipes on the opposite side of wall from it. the 92 potiac grand prix has a small spot where you could hide somthing right in the middle of the steering wheel, just pull the rubber cover off and you will see it I have one of those basic wood tables with a wood center column for the base where the 2 sides pull apart to set a leaf in. In college, we realized that if you drill a hole in the top of the column that is right beneath the tabletop, it makes for a GREAT hidey hole. No one ever thinks to pop open a table and look down the center. Needless to say, despite it's ugly appearance, we can't get ourselves to get rid of it due to this handy spot. My ass usualy does the trick for me The seat of my car, which if you know how, can be lifted off, revealing some perfect little bucket sized spaces below. I have an old computer case that i took all the wires and stuff out of, and although the window in the side show its content it makes a great storage unit, if it had no window, it would be a perfect hiding spot. We have always hidden our valuables while on vacation under our Grand Piano, on top of the legs, there is a big space, almost like a shelf on all three legs. TD under the covers Electrical outlet on the wall, it is very easy to create a phoney one. All you need is the plastic junction box that goes behind it, the actual outlet plugs and the cover. No wiring needed! When you wish to access it you simply unscrew the cover and pull out your stuff. I once buried all the love letters from a co worker I was having an affair with at the base of a tree in the woods. Behind an old paint can in a dirty cob web coverd shelf on the way to the cellar In plain sight. Not in my ass. My head is always stuffed up there. yes Um.. I normally find that hole between the buttcheecks is a good place to store stuff. Especially Cocain......... In a digital alarm clock that runs on AC or battery power, you could put something small (a pair of earrings, some pills, a folded up hundred dollar bill) in the battery spot while the clock is running on AC power. Below the pile of tissues in a box of tissues, best if kept in a drawer or away from frequently used areas (so the tissues aren't used). rectum if you take the ink cylinder out of a ball point pen you could totally hide a handful of sunflower seeds in there! my anus Many times, the large speaker cabinets in some home theatre systems have a lot of empty space in them. Also, if your central heating/air vents are removable, you may be able to hide something in them, assuming it doesn't completely fall down the shaft. i have a shelf type thing in my fireplace i can just reach up and put stuff on. Doesn't sound that great but no one else knows about it. Or at least didn't until I told you. Oh Dammit!! Amy, London My best posts are a hollow metal. The top isn't, but the bottom is totally open and you can place small items in it if you really wanted to. In fact, I never thought about it before... but it would make a pretty kick ass hiding spot for something. LOL In an unused section of your local library. There are these little boxes that contain maps at my library. They also contain any Michael Moore movies that have been left out where people can see them. I took apart an old VHS Tape and disposed of the film. I then put things back inside, closed it, then labeled it something boring like 'Best of CNN' and put it on the shelf. No one even looks. i do, but if i told you about it, it wouldn't be hidden very well would it? Many bookcases have a hollow area under the bottom shelf that is blocked by a faceplate. You can put all sorts of interesting (but thin) stuff there. Foil-wrapped parcel in the freezer marked "Liver" behind the cover of rarely used speakers up my ass I've found that keeping a plant in two containers (the plastic one it comes in inside of a decorative container) makes for a very good hiding place - the few inches of space between the containers is perfect for money, keys, any other number of small items. You just have to be careful on watering day! Making a little sleeve or pocket on the bottom of a drawer is one hiding place. Many street lamps have square metal casings at the base. You can slide those casings up the pole and hide things under them, then slide them back down. If you want to bring moonshine home on the airplane, just put it in a vodka bottle. no Kitchen cabinets always have blank space in their kickspace. Buried! if it was up your ass you'd know Got a weapon? Got little kids you don't want to get their hands on it? Still worried about home invasions, and thus need a place to hide your weapon out of the way out of reach of the kiddies? Know how to do drywall repair work? It's easy to hide your weapon! Step 1) Punch(or cut, for the less MANly) a hole in the wall where you want to hide the weapon. Good places are at the top of the stairs, right next to your closet, or anywhere inconspicuous in case you're not that good at drywall. Step 2) Using some 2x4s, frame in a little box, making a roughly 16" x 16" square space between the studs. Step 3) Put your (loaded) weapon in the box. Maybe put it in a little Zip-Loc baggie so that dust and gunk doesn't make the poor thing not work when you need it 5 years down the road or whatever. Stainless-Steel materials would be best for materials choices, so rust doesn't develop. Step 4) Drywall over the hole in the wall. If you don't know how to do this, find a buddy who does. But you should have read ahead in the directions anyway. Step 5) Put a poster or something over where your weapon is hidden, so you'll know where to punch a fresh hole in the wall to retrieve your weapon in times of need. Step 6) Wait for somebody unwanted to show up in your house. This works best if you live in someplace like LA, Philadelphia, or Lebanon. Step 7) Punch through the wall. Step 8) Cock. Step 9) Aim. Step 10) Fire. Step 11) Find a place to hide the body. This same process also works well for large sums of money or illicit goods you may want to spirit away.

As long as the thing you are hiding is not too bulky, you'll be alright. When my Mum and her brother were kids growing up in the 50's they'd been paid to deliver newspapers, but found it easier to did a hole in the garden and hide them there. They got caught in the end, but not because the newspapers were found, too many people complained of not getting their papers I hide my PIN and other access/password numbers in bogus names in my cell phone. Just dont make it too obvious, try and make it still look like a phone number I always thought that behind the drawer was pretty good, but in plain sight seems to work best. I used to keep my dirty magazines on the top shelf in my closet when I lived at my mother's house..., when I was a teenager. Wrapping text, good idea! Yep. but I'm not telling! Yep. but I'm not telling! I can't really think of any, but I'm betting you get a lot of "up my ass" responses. :-) Bill behind lightswitches up my butt under neath a old bookcase If you have a small object, say the size of a small cellphone or a tube of lipstick, you can push it up your butt! Usually no one will think to look there, and there is a deterrent to checking it out.

That is what you meant, right? In my but The classic book-with-the-center-cut-out. Perferably a textbook that you never gave back, during your last term of highschool. Such books are only regarded as being of high value by teachers of that subject, but even they are unlikely to flip through it, since they most likely know everything that the pages once contained. Even theives that know about such books probably won't waste their time, pouring through your personal book collection, looking for such a gem. Bibles should be regarded as somewhat ineffective, when it comes to professional theives, since you can buy Bible-replica stash-books at the same types of places that you can buy the shaving-creme-with-the-false-bottom. If they DID check your books, a Bible would be the first place they'd look.

Optionally, you can make a false bottom and leave some washing powder in it to fool a suspicious eye. 49 27 76 65 20 66 6f 75 6e 64 20 74 68 61 74 20 74 68 65 20 70 6c 61 63 65 20 75 6e 64 65 72 20 74 68 65 20 73 74 61 69 72 73 20 77 6f 72 6b 73 20 66 6f 72 20 6d 65 2e 01000100 01100101 01100001 01110010 00100000 01010010 01101111 01100010 01100101 01110010 01110100 00101100 01011001 01101111 01110101 00100000 01110011 01110101 01100011 01101011 00101110 01001100 01101111 01110110 01100101 00101100 00100000 01010011 01101111 01101101 01100101 01101111 01101110 01100101 00101110 .... . -.-- .-. --- -... ! .. - ' ... -- . .- --. .- .. -. --..-- - .... . -- .- -. .- - . . ..-. .-. --- -- - .... . --.. --- --- .-.-.- -.. --- -.-- --- ..- -- .. ... ... -- . ..--.. .-.. --- ...- . -- -- .- -. .- - . . ... .- -- .-.-.- I like to hide a spare key to my house by hanging it on my dog's collar (and then leaving him in the back yard). I figure he's big and intimidating, and even if you had the guts to go into the back yard looking for where I hid the key, you probably wouldn't want to or think to check his collar. The bottom of a gamecube! The inside lining of a jacket with interior pockets - accessible through a small hole torn in the bottom of an interior pocket. I cut the pages out of 'Steal this Book' by Abbie Hoffman and use it as a book safe. I had a set of large stereo speakers that sat beside my tv. When I got a surround sound system, I gutted the speakers and used them as tv side storage and plant stands. I wasn't trying to hide anything, but you could. It was about two years later that someone finally asked me why I had these large speakers when I also had a surround soud system installed. -Alisha vagina yes yes, yes I do. The bottom of the Vegetable Crisper in the Fridge. this may just be my family, but nobody ever looks there. My Ass. An excellent hiding spot for something if your heating/air conditioning system isn't on is down a vent. Just find one that runs sideways so there's a floor instead of a drop. you can cut out the center of the middle pages of a thick book you can put anything in there. Then you can close the book and it will look perfectly normal Not yet A bra of course - many a possibly not so legal substance has been smuggled into concerts, clubs, anywhere there is a bouncer. n.b.: only works for girls My pancreas. Down my ass. Because I go through life ass-backwards. Mhy favorite hiding place is behind air vents. My butt. When I lived in Arkansas, we had our air conditioning vents on the ground. I don't know if that is an Arkansas thing, or just the house, or what. Either way, by removing the face plate, I was able to hide anything that would fit down into the ducts. No one ever found anything I put in there, so maybe that is an awesome hiding spot. I think anything that can be hidden inside a wall is a pretty good spot. -Ryan Hidden 'in plain sight' works better than your undie drawer here. K. My dad used to stash extra money inside the pockets of old shirts in his closet. No theif would search through your clothes' pockets. Unfortunately this had a downside. Over the years he's given a lot of clothes away to the Salvation Army, Second Tyme Around etc and he's quite certain that he's also given away cash with them! MY PANTS!! I can't tell you, it's a secret ;) THE TOILET IS A GREAT SPOT BUT SO IS THE CESSPOOL! Under the bottom drawer in my dresser there is a void where I can hide smaller items. It doesn't sound like an incredibly good hiding place, but most people don't realize there can be extra space in a piece of furniture like that and only look at the contents of the drawers. kester it! I post my valuables on ebay in the Cockeyed Garage Sale. No one EVER finds them there! Get one of those massive candles that take about 2 years to melt, dig out the middle and put all your precious goods inside. They will be perfectly safe until, of course, somebody decides to light the candle. Danni x Under Meadowland stadium in New Jersey? goatsee Invest your savings in a gold or silver brick. Then paint it black and use it as a doorstop. up the butt... If you are attempting to hide a file on your computer, renaming the extension is an easy (though cheesy) trick. For example, "screen.jpg" turns into "screen.rar". Also, if you need to get an .exe past an email client that filters those, rename "file.exe" to "file.txt". Again, cheesy I know. do i have an awesome hiding spot? not if i tell you. Unused drive bays- easy access with the 5 1/4" bays having a removeable plate and few people are both confident in dissasembling a computer and think to look inside a computer case Hiding things inside other things is a great method. I highle recommend buying or salvaging a really OLD PC case, and building your own PC inside of it. No one wants to steal a huge and ancient HP Brio that looks like it's from 1997. It's also good to get one that has mysterious cofee or drink stains on it. The thieves will pass on it, and keep looking for your iPod. Another excellent hidingplace, i friend of mine told me this one. It's not my idea. If you have a lot of porn on your computer, and you don't want your girlfriend to find out, zip all your mpegs,avi etc with (for example) winzip. You can passwordprotect the file. Then rename the file into VIRUS! or WINXPSUPERTOOLS. If your girlfriend (or friend, wive, son daughter, mother) asks you just say "no don't open! It's a virus!!!" and quickly delete the file. If you want to look at your porn, do not unpack the files, but open them from within the zipprog. That way the mpegfiles don't appear in your 'recent documents'list. My girlfriend, eh my friends girlfriend doesn't know how to use winrar anyway. I think this is an excellent hidingplace, i think Greetings from the Netherlands (known for its weed and tulips) Frank in my microwave I always wanted to have a big afro so I could hollow out the top and shoplift stuff on my head. It never came to fruition because I have poor posture and I figured the stuff would fall out. And I'm white. Everyone finds whatever I hide. I bought a wooden 'puzzle box' which looks simply like a decorative accent. Even if anyone noticed it was hollow, it's nearly impossible to open unless you've memorized the instructions, and the only other way to get anything out is with a hammer. Look for the 3-ring binders that let the one-piece inner spine/ring part unscrew from the folder itself, rather than just be bolted on, like most of them. The one I found at Walmart had a bubble-shaped, shiny clear cover for the piece of paper you put for the label on the outside spine. The shiny clear cover snaps off, it's meant to. Take the piece of paper, it has a circle near the top as part of it's logo. Cut out the circle, be sure to blacken the white cut edges with a black marker afterward. On the reverse, tape a small bit of black tulle, doubled. Stick that label in and put the cover back, only after you're done making the hole in the binder. The shininess and bubble-shape makes the hole very unnoticable from a slight distance. Mark a circle where the hole in the label comes to. Take off the inside spine/ring assembly. Get a screwdriver hot by holding it onto a burner, and melt a little hole right where that hole in the label comes out as. File it clean, use black marker all around the hole to keep it dark, if the binder isn't black. Get sticky-backed Velcro and velcro your mini wireless camera (buy at Walmart or your nearest Warehouse store) in place. Get a spiral notebook or two and cut out a hole (wire & all) for your camera if you want to, put that in place in the binder. Maybe hotglue it or something. How do I know this? Divorce is ugly. you can attach things to a hanger and then put clothes over it A friend of mines grandmother died and her possessions were divided up. Somehow he ended up with some old pillows. It was while lying on one of these pillows that he noticed it felt like there was something slightly rigid in one of them. Upon dissection he discovered a small cloth poch that had been sewn shut. Inside was $500 in assorted large bills all of which had series dates from the early to mid 70's. Upon further investigation he discovered another identical ppuch with another 500 inside. Not a bad hiding place considering that the cash remained undiscovered for over 30 years. And for those who are wondering...yes, she was senile and had been for decades. So despite being the only person who knew about the hidden money, she was also the last person who could have told anyone. I take the bottom drawer out of my dresser and put stuff on the floor under the drawer. There's always a gap there. This doesn't work when the front of the dresser doesn't come all the way to hte ground, because then people can just peek underneath. But if you can't see under the dresser from the front, hiding under the drawer is a great place that nobody thinks of. Those overhead luggage bins in airplanes are a great place to hide. When we were kids, my brother cut a 1' square out of the sheetrock in his closet wall to hide porn and stuff in. Then he clued the sheetrock square to a peice of posterboard. When he put the sheetrock back, it looked like a piece of poaster board was leaning against the wall. One day our mom found it and she told me, "Your brother cut a hole in his closet to hide stuff" and I was like "He did?!" -open a unused pad, slip money inside, and then close it again with the little sticker. -between barbie's cleavage -in your cat's litter box -small circular compartment under a mouse Cash or papers can be hidden inside a cheap vibrator. Just remove the batteries and slip in the secrets. If a nosey roommate feels obligated to examine your sex toys, you've got bigger problems than a mere hiding place can fix. I always have a little cash stashed in a pair of dirty old running sneakers in the closet! If I were to share my awesome hiding spot, it wouldn't be so awesome anymore, would it? I used to tape cash on the wall inside my closet, right above the door. I have an older sister. 'Nuff said. ;) I used to hide things in the battery compartment on my cd player that I only used plugged in. -in a tape recorder/walkman/CD player -in a lamp/between fluorescent light bulbs -between the cover of a scale -inside a skein of yarn -inside a guitar/hollow instrument -between a stack of paper plates -for girls: lift up hair, slide money in, tie up hair in pony tail -under dog food bowl Put something flat (like paperwork) in the litterbox under the plastic liner, no one would bother to look there. my ass One of the coolest (and safest!) places I've found to store stuff is in this giant steel container in my bedroom closet. It has an enormous combination lock on the front and has the label "Safeway Safes, Inc." on the front. For some reason, none of my buddies ever mess with anything I put in there!! My vagina? right out in the open Go to the library. Find a book that hasn't been checked out in years, and probably won't be, and hide stuff between the pages. As long as recovery is not a concern, the ocean is a great place to hide things like dead bodies and such. yes I used to hide peanut butter sandwiches in the VCR when I was little. Needless to say my hiding spot was discovered the second the Lion King came out on VHS...damn Simba... Put it in your time machine and send it forward to the point when you'll need it again. It won't exist in this universe in the interim so it will be impossible to find. I now realise how much the submitted ideas suck. Considering how many people wrote in the same ideas, like a suspended ceiling, they're not places "no-one" would think to look, they're places *everyone* thinks of! My shower curtain rod is hollow and can be removed quite easily. Jewlry or rolledc documents in plastic fit quite snuggly. I found a whole pickle in its plastic wrapper inside a cut-out dictionary before I like to hord paperclips by sliding them thru the vents on top of television sets. Rob, if you had a nickel for every "my butt crack" answer, I think you'd probably have several dollars! Inside my rectum I don't have any other hiding spot ideas, but now if a thief breaks into my house and destroys my toilet and rips apart my computer to see if I've hidden anything there, I'm totally blaming you for giving them the idea. Old Reader's Digest Condensed Books are great places to cut out some pages the size and shape of a zip-disk that you have important information on. They're hardcover, fairly large, and no one ever wants to read them. If you do it right, you can get anywhere from 3-5 zip disks in one book, depending on its size. Also good for hiding your Deringer buried in the middle of a large tin of instant coffee (one will obviously not use this coffee). I used to have a huge sub-box in the back of my volkswagen. I would regularly make trips to Wisconsin for fireworks and smuggle them across the border inside the box. This was, of course, before fireworks were legal in Minnesota. Now I only have to smuggle the big fireworks, which are still, for some dumb reason, not legal. It's harder now that I don't have that car anymore. This would not work for everyone, but for those readers with a colostomy, the bag makes a nice spot to secret diamonds and such. In my old dorm room, somebody from years passed had pulled out the bottom drawer of the chest of drawers and hollwed out the part that separates the drawer from the floor. I never even realized it was there for like 2 whole years. Good hiding place for money, etc. space? in the "dude, where's my car?" dvd, no one wants that nor will even remotely come near it armpit in my belly button in george bush's cranium Your anus behind a tree Its cliche but I hide things under my mattress, mainly from myself, but it works nonetheless. In the wall behind your electrical outlets. There is a certain risk one takes if they dare check. Inside a ball of yarn, perhaps? My knitting stuff is pretty unappealing to your average snoop, and it would be pretty easy to wrap up something small (a wad of money, a crumpled note, a smuggled jewel) in a mundane, boring, fuzzy ball. Yes. I do. The old-style Playstation 2 has a large hollow area used to upgrade it with a netword adapter. If you don't have a network adapter, it can make a great spot. Who is going to look inside your Playstation. no. Nature's pocket. On an island that is undiscoverable, save for those who already know where it is! Some chests of drawers have a piece of wood on their underside, as opposed to an opening to the floor. When in possession of one of these, under the bottom drawer is a fine place to hide something flat. I hide small but valuable things in my belly button all the time. Border Agents only search my junk, not my fuzzy private hole. Hooray! Behind the refrigerator no Inside a light fixture. Deep inside my anus, real deep. Down the spine of those old encyclopeda-type books, where they used to sew the pages together, you could fit quite a bit down those money wise, or a small knife that lacks a thick handle. Thanks for blowing it for all of is rob. I like the hide money in the pages of books, then you get a little bonus everytime I reread a book. Inside a tissue box. Under a keyboard. Hide your diamonds in a teddy bear! NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE. Up your butt and around the corner. For the record, a lot of things seem like a good idea. Under drawers, inside food containers, in the freezer, etc. but these are actually horrible places, and are the first spots that theives or snoops would look. If you see something listed here more than twice, it is probably too common of a hiding spot to be effective. Half-empty paint cans are good. Leave the lid off, let the paint dry, then deposit the valuables inside. If delicate or sensitive, wrap in tissue paper to keep it from falling into the cracked, dry paint. Return half-empty can to the garage. My Butt nope I like to hide myself in my lab! Under a bookshelf This is a long line to test the new wrapping function of this little box.

I also have the empty plastic shell of a tape measure in my toolbox. A hollow curtain rod is a good place, you know those brass ones with filals on the ends in my ass - a la papillion I hide money in a Walgreens Teeth Whitening Strips box. The box is re-sealable, so it doesn't have to be taped down. Plus, if you shake it, the money inside makes the same sound of whitening strips! This is a good one, because I can keep it in plain sight in my medicine cabinet or in a suitcase, and nobody would notice the difference! There is a 4" gap between the bottom of the lowest drawer in my dresser and the floor. The only way to get at it or even realize it's there is to completely remove the drawer, so I keep things hidden there. Many guitar amps have space in the speaker cabinet that is easily accessed, and if it's a closed-back cabinet that you can remove then nobody will ever know. Of course, there's still the very high chance that someone will just try to steal the amp itself. i hide things in my ear Inside your shoe when you're at the beach. Not in the heel though...in the toe. Thieves check the heel and move on. Kangaroo Shoes!!! Trash cans. Oscar the Grouch was onto something! shoe Bottom of a baby stroller is good for escorting items out of people's site. Baby Wipe Containers too.

I hide all of my money between individual pages of the many many books I own. Nobody wants to read THAT much to steal my fortune. inside of a lamp Not so much hiding than hidden, and related to your gutted HD, I once made a secret drawer out of a CD-ROM drive. Basically I just removed the faceplate and tray lip, glued the lip in place on the faceplate, and then glued that to the (hollowed out) empty CD-ROM drive casing. It slid right out (I didn't have it screwed in, and i used a bent paperclip as a handle) and it held some postcards and papers, my watch, some spare RAM and other junk. The ideal hiding spot for the enterprising 7-11 shoplifter is, as I discovered at the age of 10, a slurpie cup. Here's the rundown. 1) Enter 7-11, approach candy section and make selection(s). 2) Leave candy isle, approach soda fountain area. 3) Take large slurpee cup, put in an inch of slurpee slush. 4) Drop candy into cup, add more slush, purchase slurpee.

On a pair of men's white cotton "brief style" underwear, (tighty whiteys) if you put your hand in the between the two layers of the fly there is a pocket that extends all the way to the crotch of the underwear. It will hold a good ounce of contraband without causing much discomfort. Shhh... Don't tell... I keep precious things in a plastic bag stuffed inside a chicken in the freezer. I used to hide small amounts of crank in my gamecube's "High-Speed Port". The irony didn't escape me at the time. The best hiding place I have found is in a old water heater - it is still in place I just added a new one when the old one stopped working. I removed the access cover (about 12" x 6") and cut the controls off to access the interior. I cleaned out the inside and painted it with heavy duty spray enamel. It is a 40 gal tank so that there is plenty of room. Since all the pipes are still connected and lead into the wall - but are not connected to anything inside the wall - no one even suspects that it is anything but a 2nd water heater.

If you want to hide money, give it to my girlfriend You'll never see it again WHAT I hide things under Osama Bin Laden, they'll never find it there! Inside my empty Herbalife bottles. in my boots, in the closet. No one looks INSIDE a pair of boots. It helps that they go up to the knee so I can fold them over. hooray for boots! For things small enough to fit in an envelope, you can then tape the envelope to the top of a blade on a celing-mounted fan. This is especially effective if the fan is seldom turned off. Inside an NES slot. Unfortunately a few people check what game is in, so it doesn't always work. A good place to hide files on a computer is in a subdirectory under c:\windows, since everyone's afraid to go in there (it works better with a directory name like LVP1D or CKWJT4). a hole in my backyard On the roof, hanging just inside the chimney (hooked to the inside of the hood) Inside my face o.O Under my tongue! I bet a million people have said "up my ass" A great hiding place for small valuables would be inside an (apparently used) disposable diaper.

The dark, deep crevices of your very own body! If you can successfully hide something in them, then you can easily get past authority figures, unless of course they *know* you are hiding something.

My older brother used to borrow money from my other brother and me on a regular basis (if borrow implies removing covertly and never paying back). My brother's best hiding place was in one of the walls in his room. There was some plaster damage, and he could tuck cash in between a loose section of plaster and lath. The wall was eventually repaired, an my brother suspects a few bucks may still be in there. Inside a never-played piano. Dust gathers on the nice and smooth wood surfaces pretty quickly so it doesn't look like anyone's touched it in a while.... I hides them in the floorboards, I does. I used to play hide-and-go-seek with my family all the time. My favorite place to hide was underneath the wicker chair in my brothers bedroom. my anus When I was in college my room mate and I always used to try to hide a beer from one another in case of a beermergency. It would always suck to have to watch the other guy enjoy that last, delicious, well hidden Carling's Black Label. After exhausting most of the best spots, I thought our beer hiding days were over. On one particularly hot day, however, my room mate broke down and retrieved his beer while I was still home thus letting me see him dig through a giant warehouse brand jar of peanut butter for his well hidden (and well deserved) emergency beer. He even drank it with the peanut butter still all smeared over the can. 3 words: pipe bomb dildo In my closet in the room I grew up in, there was a gap between the wall and the top doorframe, just wide enough to stash 3.5" diskettes or unprotected CDs (with porn, of course!) behind the old fashioned toilet at an Italian restaurant in the Bronx....

"Mysterious and dirty. It repels the casual observer". That's the main idea. I used to keep my diary in the Christmas tree ornament box in the basement. Who looks there, except at the holidays, and I knew by Thanksgiving I had to stash it elsewhere for a few weeks, so off it went behind the book case or under the giant stack of never-used linens in the hall closet. Both places served me well, but I never had to worry when my secrets where sleeping with the ornaments. I managed to hide my colander from myself for four months by putting it together with low-priority stuff (just because I had room in that box) when moving. Hiding valuable items in boxes of useless junk makes for a perfect hiding spot, since no one will bother to search through them.

Some manufactuers simply make the set super narrow, and like a pizza box. Others just leave a lot of empty space inside the cabinet. A modern console C.D. player leaves as much as seventy per cent of its cabinet totally unoccupied, making them perfect for hiding things as large as mass-market paperbacks. behind a brick in the chimney, a filthy chimney.
