with junk, rather than trashing the stuff you really care about....

Or taking their frustration out on the house.

The police advise you not to lock drawers or doors on wooden furniture
as thieves will simply cause lots of damage forcing them open. Well
designed hidden compartments are a far better option.

There is often quite a bit of space behind modern wall mounted kitchen
cabinets too, well out of sight.
