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.

I don't think the beer can safes are very "safe."
Ajax cleaner under the sink looks decent.

Anything that is portable doesn't seem as good as being attached.
Rigging up a plumbing pipe to look like a clean out port seems really
easy and very inconspicuous.

A crook will take your beer, but is not likely looking for cleaning

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.

I can only guess that he shoved them a fair bit over to the side,
away from the light.

To run some wires, yesterday I had to remove the decorative covering
from the sides of my car's trunk and I realized there are a lot of
good places to hide things behind it.

Now I'm trying to think of something to hide!!

Crap ! ! ! You just reminded me, I traded my car in two weeks ago
and a house key was hidden in it. I use that key probably once a year
to get in.

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.

When I was dispatching for the county some 20years ago I had a call
from a guy. He bought a used car and found a sawed off shotgun under
the rear seat.

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!"

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.

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.

Why not believe him? He looks like an honest guy and would not lie.
He may have been sitting in the wrong place or at a bar and he thought
the guy next to him was just fondling his ass.

These things happen don't they?

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!
