Kind of depends on how easily you need to get at it. I have an old desk that has a lot of space behind the drawers - enough to fit an ammo box. The problem is, it was a colossal pain in the ass to remove the drawers because of the unique way they set up the drawer's locking system. It was a great place to hide stuff but ultimately not worth it.

Garbage disposal. Reach in and then turn it on to open the secret compartment. Don't worry, the blades don't work when a hand is in the hole.

I leave my valuables on the kitchen table. Thieves are going to be looking for hiding spots, not things laid out in the open.

Quoted: I carefully saw open logs, create a cavity inside, then pack my gold, ammo, and contraband guns inside. Carefully reassemble, and then store them next to the split woodpile. Axe is over there, get crackin’, dickhead View Quote Amateur hour. I carefully saw open one log, create a cavity inside, pack a few things that are interesting but not contraband in there. Leave it in a spot that's fairly easy to find in the log pile. Watch them chop all the logs and find nothing. |

Had to have my house put on rails to have room to hide the really big stuff. It's really handy. Neighbors seem to not have notice yet. Got drunk and left it open all night one time.

Quoted: A little here and there. Dad has a pistol at the lake house that he needed to hide due to some visitors. This was last March. He still doesn’t know where it is. We’ll probably find it one day when we are cleaning out their stuff. View Quote That happened to me years ago, needed to put $700ish away quickly before I left the house. Found it years later in a pack of guitar strings when I cleaned out a drawer. I was pissed when I couldn't find it, but super happy when I did. I was sober, but don't hide shit when drunk. Unless you plan on looking for it when drunk. I've hidden plenty of things |

Inside my driveway light posts. The are hollow so you can store another sealed conduit inside the post
Stays dry, no one looks there and limited chance of fire compared to your house |

She'd stuffed a packet of loose stones in the bottom hem of the curtains in her living room when she went on vacation with her daughters. Everyone was sure they accidentally threw out a bunch of jewelry when she moved out of her house because she'd come up with new hiding spots every time and never got the same jewelry back after each trip.

First I need to get something valuable, so I would feel the need to "stash" it.

Quoted: About 6 months after my dad died, my mom went out to the garage to get a pound of wrapped hamburger out of the freezer. When she opened it, she screamed. I thought she was dying. Nope, the old man had left about $15k stashed in the freezer disguised as hamburger. View Quote She found his fun money stash. |

Called the sheriffs station annonamously and claimed that he was hiding cocaine inside the logs of his wood pile. Sheriff immediately showed up to supervise and split them. Sadly they never foudn any cocaine, but it sure mad dad's day watching the sheriff cut up his firewood... |

It was in a crevice above the furnace that couldn't be seen but could be reached with your hand. If I wasn't reaching around in there troubleshooting a loose, rattling heating duct I would never have found it. |

Quoted: For myself, I put all my valuables in my missile silo / doomsday bunker complex. It has internal active security systems, a 16" thick reinforced concrete door (domed on the outside to resist physical attacks and nuclear blast waves) and then there are the mine fields, man traps, tank traps and concertina wire on the perimeter.

Former boss had a custom full head Elk mount done using a fiberglass shell for the head. Hell to get on and off the wall, but one person could do it in a pinch. Once off the wall, you pulled a wooden pin out and the the lower half of the mounting board came off and there was a huge space inside.

Every time I get a hotel room I do a shake down of the entire room. I have found some pretty wild things or items misplaced or forgotten. You have to be very creative with hiding stuff to have it hard or difficult to find.

A typical house has plenty of voids.
Hollow doors, walls, floors and ceilings of course. But furniture, electronics, and appliances too. |

We lost two pistols in a "scarf bin" for about 4 months. I didn't know we had a scarf bin and I don't remember putting them there.
