Now we are not going to talk about the pocket money of a cunning husband, but about places in your apartment where you can reliably hide your valuables.

Therefore, it is good if you always have money at hand - in your home. But even there you need to hide it well, because criminals can hunt for it.

Thieves usually plan their raids and target their victims in advance. Information is very easy to gather these days.

A wealthy person is given away not only by expensive watches, clothes, cars, but also by chatty neighbors, concierges, and especially social networks.

This is where we pour out our joy when we go on vacation, reporting long before so that the whole world knows how happy we are.

If you are often away from home, invest in installing an alarm system. This will already be a guarantee, because professional burglars do not mess with such risky apartments.

Thieves will visit flush tanks at the very beginning of their search. Many people still hide money in boxes, vases, under mattresses or in books, wardrobes between clothes, in shoes, in jacket pockets, fur coats.

A third of the stolen stashes were in refrigerators.

A hiding place in the ventilation, under the carpet, baseboard, behind a picture frame or a jar of cereal is also an open secret.

And musical instruments or household appliances are not a safe place. A thief won't be able to take apart the equipment, but he can simply take it away.

If you keep a very large sum of money in your apartment, you can make a false stash: put a few bills in one of these places. The thief will immediately find it and calm down.

But the rest should be put in a more secure place. It is good to use a balcony, thieves often do not look there, so as not to reveal their presence.

You can put cash in a waterproof package in an aquarium or in one of the flower pots with live and well-watered plants.

You can make a secret place in the cornices if they are empty inside, and sew a pocket for banknotes among the lush lambrequins.

The doors in the rooms are also usually hollow, if you carefully open them, you will find a secret place for your treasures.

A fake water pipe or a non-working electrical outlet will also be a good disguise. Banknotes can also be hidden in suspended ceilings - behind lamps.
