If you keep your savings in cash at home, you should think carefully about where to hide them.
Many seemingly secure hiding places are well known to burglars.
Where you can't hide money
First, books. By hiding banknotes in books, people think that thieves will not look through each one.
And they won't actually do that, they'll just throw all the books off the shelves onto the floor.
Thieves will do the same with your clothes and underwear. And they won't hesitate to rummage through dirty laundry.
You should also not hide cash under or in your mattress, in jars of cereals, or behind paintings and mirrors.
