Rigging up a plumbing pipe to look like a clean out port seems really easy and very inconspicuous. |

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. |

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. |

Harry K 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!" http://kosmo.hubpages.com/hub/What-Should-I-Know-about-Mexicos-Drug-Cartels -- |

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 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! |
