Too bad they didn't know where to hide a functioning server.

Take a storage box about the size of a VCR tape box, and screw the lid
to the bottom of a table/desk or the inside of a closet so the hinge
side is down.

There are literally hundreds of places to hide things. If you can get
in during construction you can do some very interesting things.
If you want a hidden compartment much deeper than 3.5", be sure you
can't see both sides of the wall without walking around a corner or
two so the extra depth of the wall is not as apparent.

And be sure a "trusted" loved one knows about your stash.
Otherwise it could belong to the guy replacing the drywall 20 years
down the road.

I thought of that too. I have a folder in my stuff with my only
sister's name on it. It lists my bank accounts and were I keep my
safety deposit key and the location of anything interesting.

I was thinking about maybe passwords, but I haven't done that yet.
Since all my bills (and credit card payment) come directly out of my
checking account I told her the first thing she should do is close my
checking account.

IN the houser I grew up in, there were drawers in the hall. My
brother's closet was behind them but there was a couple feet of empty
space and when we went out of town I would crawl in where the lowest
drawer went and hide stuff. We got it out just in time, because
eventually I was t oo big to get in there!

Hope the buyer doesn't find the key, and come visit you?

The dealer probably won't find it, and the new owner won't find it for
years and won't know who you are anyhow, right?

OTOH, if the car is still there, you could go look at it like a
customer and take the key. It's worth 2 dollars these days. After
you have the key, you can tell them you were the owner (when they are
charging you with grand theft.)

And thanks, I had a house key in my last car's trunk, and I really
should have hidden it. So now I know what to hide. Although I
think under the turnk carpet will be good enough.

There are recent news accounts of people driving to Mexico:

"...As an example of how devilish the Juarez Cartel can be, it has
developed an insidious way to smuggle drugs across the border by
planting them in the cars of innocent people. The cartel gains entry
to the vehicles by using locksmiths who have access to the VIN of
automobiles, for which keys can then be made. Using GPS devices, the
vehicles are tracked from Juarez to El Paso and then the contraband
picked up. Numerous people have gone to jail or prison for smuggling
drugs they didn’t know they had in the trunks of their cars!"

When I added a 120V outlet to my bathroom (wiring already in the wall) I
made the hole on the wrong side of the stud. I put a box in and added a
blank cover to make a hiding place.

Fortunately, no. The car was still on the lot, now for sale, so I
may swing buy and see if it is still in there. The dealer has photos
of it on the web site and the truck has been cleaned and vacuumed
though so the liner may have been taken out for that.

whenyou are in the car? Is it disabled when the engine starts or

When I lived in Brooklyn, NY, I got a car with a burglar alarm**,

But for an extra measure of protection, I mounted a hood release
handle in the grill or under the bumper with a cable that was meant to
go to the hood release, but instead I connected it to a swtich that
set off the burglar alarm. That was all it did.

Once I found the siren going, and my switch had fooled someone who
left without opening the car, (or maybe it was just an accident when
someone bumped the car while parking and set off my alarm via the
mercury switches)



** and that pretty much ended break-ins, (Until I rented a spot in a
lot that couldn't be seen from the street,.)

Harry K

The fob does not unlock the doors, it allows them to be unlocked when
I just touch the button on the door handle. (although I think some do
unlock them) It is also impossible to lock it in the car. The sensor
knows if it is inside or outside of the car and will not allow you to
manually lock the doors from the handle if the fob is inside.

The doors lock when I put the car in gear and they can also be locked
with a button on the arm rest.

You can also program how some functions work. One touch can open only
the driver's door or you can change it to unlock all doors.

It gives of some RF signal I guess, for a short distance. As for
brand, it comes with the car. Many cars have them now and you push a

it's dumb hiding your housekey under the truck carpet;
if a service guy has to lift the carpet to access your spare tire,they'll
find the key,and they have your address from your car registration. they
can send a friend over while you're still in the shop waiting room.

if you have the car detailed,the guy will probably find the key.

but to really scare you,Google or Wiki search "bump key".

Ed, is there a way to turn the engine off in an emergency? Unlock the
doors? I am thinking of some malfunction that makes the car refuse to
brake, as well as driving into a canal. Do you have one of those emergency
hammers that will break the glass of the window like this

The doors lock when I put the car in gear and they can also be locked
with a button on the arm rest.

You can also program how some functions work. One touch can open only
the driver's door or you can change it to unlock all doors.


how does it tell whether the fob is inside or outside? mine has an
antenna in each door and the rear bumper. when you get witihn 6' of an
antenna, it unlocks, and can't be locked if it's still near an antenna
unless it's inserted into the ignition and turned. if it's anywhere
within 6' of the car, you can't lock it without it self-unlocking (until
the fob battery goes dead. damhikt).

I don't think the beer can safes are very "safe."

For sure. The guy might want a beer. Or a coke. Even if they're
warm. After all he can put it in the fridge to get cold.

Ajax cleaner under the sink looks decent.

Lest we forget Paul Bernardo's secret hiding place for his morbid
video tapes:
the recessed light fixtures in the bathroom (or any light fixture).

Wasn't the heat there hard on video tapes?

What is a house key?
I have had a combination lock on my front door since 1971 (my first
house). My daughter never had one until she moved away.

My car has the proximity device so I don't have to reach into the
pocket. *I'd like to have it on the house for when you come home and
are carrying some bags of groceries.

I wanted a house door lock with a remote, but they are rare and if I
found one it was very expensive. *Or it ran on batteries and I hate
batteries.

How does the proximity device work?. *What brand?- Hide quoted text -

How would you like it to be powered if not by batteries?

Obviously you wouldn't want a corded remote, so that will have to use
batteries.

As far as the lock itself, do you plan to run wires through the door
slab (or - worse yet - surface mount them) to get power to the lock?

it's dumb hiding your housekey under the truck carpet;
if a service guy has to lift the carpet to access your spare tire,they'll
find the key,and they have your address from your car registration. they
can send a friend over while you're still in the shop waiting room.

Similar true situation:

My neighbors car window was broken into at her work. They stole only
her garage door opener. They found her address from her registration.
They drove to her house (in their own car), opened the garage door,
drove in, and closed the garage door. They then burglarized her house,
no hurry since everything looked ok from the outside, and she was at
work still unaware of her car's broken window.

Apparently this is a well known method. Two precautions I now take. I
keep the garage door opener out of plain sight. And I use a strategic
rip though the numbers on my registration making my address
unreadable. Hopefully hiding the opener will save me the broken car
window, and if not at least they don't know where I live.

I hid the key in a really good hiding place, then put an old, obsolete key in a fairly obvious hiding place. I figure that anyone finding the old key will try in in the door, see it doesn't work, and quit looking for more keys.

I did something like that with a keypad lock. On the paper that had the
code on it, I drew a line through it (still leaving it readable) and
wrote a fake code next to it.

What did you do with the paper?

I'm sure that will totally bumfoozle anyone finding the paper.
