Exactly! Thats one of the many reasons why I don't hide money in the house. I keep a few hundred in the basement in a safe and that hopefully would be enough to keep us afloat until things got back to normal.

Cash only please. Put a few hundred in a bolted down safe.

in a hole in the dog kennel. even if they get to know that it is there, they will never retrieve it. it helps if your dogs are vicious and more so rabid

Bedroom drawer.

I'm attacking the burglars with my counter-psychology!

Seriously, never keep much cash in the house (maybe 100$ or so), so I don't go to great lenght to hide it.

Ohh, how about ten dollar bills in sealed plastic, single layer, underneath the wallpaper? I guess nobody uses wallpaper any more. Oh, well.

I love this thread, but I'm not going to bother finding the most super secure place, anyway. I could put $$ in some great place, only to have an earthquake or tornado be our emergency, and then the money is sealed away under the brick and plaster of my destroyed house anyway. Or it would burn in a fire. My friend had a housefire last year and lost jars full of coins he'd been saving for 40 years. Some melted and got shoveled out the house by the firefighters who were trying to stop the smoldering. Some coins did not melt, but became encased in plastic from their jars and from nearby plastic household items.

I heard one that they start with the bottom drawer and work their way up, that way they save time by not having to close the top one to see what's in the next one. Just thought of that when I read this.

We'll all be expert criminals after this thread.
