The most brutal child killers in the world. The most ruthless child killers in history

Burglars broke into my apartment. I stood on the threshold in shock, looking around at the chaos: upholstered furniture was torn apart, books were scattered, and in the middle of the kitchen lay a broken jar of jam - the same one in which I had once hidden my stash for a rainy day, rejoicing at my own ingenuity.

As it turned out later in a conversation with the investigator, many secluded places that seem original to us are checked by thieves first. But it is knowledge of this fact that can make it possible to preserve savings and protect housing from destruction.

It is clear that it is better not to store large sums at home. It is much wiser to take the money to the bank, where it will not only be safe, but also generate income. However, there are situations when you need to hold over a large amount of money at home - say, before a major purchase.

Where thieves will look first

It just seems to you that the freezer or flush cistern in the toilet is the last place where attackers will look. In fact, it's the other way around.

First of all, thieves search the bedroom - chests of drawers, wardrobes, feel the mattress and pillows. They can shake the soil out of a flower pot or tap the laminate flooring. In addition, everything that hangs on the walls comes under suspicion - carpets, paintings, mirrors.

In the kitchen, thieves check cans of bulk foods, the refrigerator and freezer, oven and microwave, as well as the trash can.

Tanks, cabinets, jars, containers, books - no

Don’t even think about hiding money behind the ventilation grill: Mikhail Bulgakov long ago told everyone about this hiding place in The Master and Margarita.

It's also a bad idea to hide money in books, even if there are a lot of them. They are viewed very quickly. The same goes for CDs.

Having delved deeper into the search, thieves may begin to open expensive equipment - a TV, set-top box, computer, etc.

Where can you hide money?

Before you think about setting up a cache, figure out how often you yourself will have to reach for your stash. It's stupid to move a heavy wardrobe once every two weeks before going grocery shopping. Naturally, if your stash is intended for a purchase postponed for the distant future, then it makes sense to have such a hard-to-reach stash.

The main rule when choosing a secluded place is non-obviousness. Stand in the center of the room and look around. There are a lot of surfaces and objects around you - in almost every one you can actually make a hiding place:

1. The inside of the cornice is hollow; a stack of banknotes rolled up into a tube can easily fit there.
2. At the top and bottom interior doors You can drill holes for banknotes.
3. Cavities inside any shelves, walls, window sills are good places if you came up with these cavities yourself. Thieves won't be able to check every facet of every piece of furniture, especially if they don't know where to look.

How to prevent destruction in your apartment

A good hiding place has back side. Imagine that you are on vacation, the thieves know about it. Consequently, they have nowhere to rush and are ready to search until the last minute.

The attackers may not find a well-hidden stash, but they will search thoroughly - they will break the furniture, throw all the clothes out of the closets onto the floor, turn over cans of bulk products in the kitchen, and tear off the baseboards. Everything that you hid and put aside, you will eventually have to spend on repairs and furnishings.

However, such an outcome can be avoided. Divide the money into two, or better yet, three parts. Hide the main amount more securely. Place the smaller portion in a place easily accessible to thieves. Let's say, between the clothes in the wardrobe.

Make a false cache that is easy to find and you don’t mind losing

He will be one of the first to be searched. They will find your pseudo-stash and think that this is all the savings stored at home. The most you will lose is these few thousand and some digital equipment that is easy to take away and sell.

Install a small safe at home. A compact model costs about 2000-3000 rubles. Place a smaller portion of the money in it, and hide the safe itself in the same closet. To make it even more convincing, screw the safe to the wall of the closet so that thieves will be interested in tearing it off.

Thieves are unlikely to open a metal container on the spot; they will simply take it with them. And even if they open it, they will be satisfied with what they find.

How to protect yourself from thieves

Security. All major cities have quick response services: a magnetic sensor is installed in the apartment, which must be deactivated when you return home. If the sensor is not deactivated for some time, armed guards go to the apartment. The very presence of a security system can deter thieves.

Security camera. Install an Internet camera in your apartment. This device sends notifications to your smartphone if it detects movement. If thieves enter your apartment, you will immediately know about it.

Neighbours. It makes sense to know your neighbors in the stairwell and be on good terms with them. You shouldn’t give them the keys during your vacation, but it makes sense to warn them about the vacation.

Friends. But you should give close friends a spare set of keys, so that if something happens you can call them and ask them to come with a police squad.

1 Do robots dream of electric money?

Although it may seem that thieves are not friends with common sense (after all, they simply take money instead of earning it through hard labor!), in fact, this is not the case. No attacker, for example, would risk his life in vain. Therefore, it is most logical to hide valuable things in places where you yourself are afraid to put your hands under fear of death or injury. A trap or a neighbor's wife satisfies these conditions, but there is also a simpler hiding place - a socket! Turn off the electricity in the apartment and remove the plastic cover from the socket. There will probably be a hole in the wall underneath, full of menacing wires. Among them it is quite possible to hide money or psychotropic drugs that compromise you. If the hole is big enough, there will even be room for a chained hamster to guard the hiding place! Just keep in mind that the objects you hide in the outlet should not conduct current. It would be a good idea to wrap any treasure with a rubber glove just in case.
+ Girls experience an almost sacred horror of electrical outlets. So best place for a secret late-night sandwich, dirty socks or sentimental mementos left over from your ex are nowhere to be found.
- If you have absolutely no knowledge of electrical engineering, the risk of causing a short circuit is still very high.

Looks like you're hooked

If you have already joined the ranks of those rare lucky people whose apartment has a toilet, consider that you have got an almost ready-made cache. And we don’t mean a banal cistern, because this “safe” is one of the tested ones - in the sense that thieves check it first. No, look deeper. If you remove the lid of the tank (check at the same time to see if there is any money left there from the previous owners of the apartment), then in most cases there will be water under it. A float will dangle on its surface - a plastic bulb on a stick that controls the ebb and flow of water in the tank. Turn off the water and with a decisive movement unscrew the float. You will have a good fist-sized container in your hands, capable of holding a rolled up wad of money or, for example, a spare fist. Pushing bills one at a time through a narrow hole is a troublesome task. So we suggest cutting the float, stuffing it with treasure, and sealing the seam with superglue. Better yet, brew it with a lighter or a not too hot soldering iron.
+ The beauty of a hiding place is that thieves will probably look into the cistern, and when they are sure that the money is not taped inside, they will return the lid to its place and will not lift it again (usually they do not have much time to check each potential hiding place twice ).
- It will be difficult to get to the treasures when you urgently need them yourself (for example, if thieves find you at home and start torturing you with a soldering iron, begging you to give them money). In addition, there is a risk of damaging the float or reducing its displacement, stopping the operation of the toilet.

Pipe to nowhere

Detective writer F. Dürrenmatt liked to repeat: if you want to hide a tree, hide it in the forest. If you extrapolate this advice, it turns out that the money should be hidden among other money (which you will have to borrow from friends). However, Dürrenmatt should not be taken literally. He just wanted to say that what is least striking is what does not disturb the natural setting. What are you used to seeing in the bathroom? A stack of porn magazines, summer tires, but most importantly, pipes. They fit so naturally into the interior of a toilet or bathroom that no one would think of counting the pipes or wondering why they are there and where they go. And this is your trump card. Find somewhere (at a landfill or in a store) a pipe similar to those installed in your apartment. Take a suitable scrap and hide the valuables inside it. Then mount it parallel to a real pipe - for example, the one that goes from the sink to the main line, or to those on which the taps are located that shut off the water supply. There is no better place for a hiding place.
+ When changing housing, valuables can be easily transported along with the pipe and hidden in a new place.
- If you contract amnesia somewhere, even professional detectives are unlikely to help you find the hiding place.

In the wilds of foam rubber

People figured out how to make hiding places in the foam rubber of sofas and armchairs a long time ago. The thieves, in turn, guessed that people guessed about it. Therefore, they often remove the upholstery from furniture and see if there is a hole in the foam with treasure. If it is not discovered, the upholstery is carefully nailed into place (a joke, of course; there is nothing else for thieves to do - nail the upholstery). Fool everyone! Not only remove the cover from the sofa, but also take out some of the foam. Then cut a hole in the part that is not visible upon quick inspection. Or use a blade to make a slit, stick your hand in there and cut out a hiding place deep in the foam. When you pull your hand out (you'll have to do this one day, otherwise the thieves will figure out that there's something in the foam rubber since you're sitting there), the edges of the crack will close and the hiding place will become inaccessible. You can nail the upholstery using a regular stapler. Or using something unusual.
+ If you hide valuables close to the surface, you can always make sure that they are in place by simply sitting on the sofa.
- Sometimes sofas are stuffed not with foam rubber, but with such small rubbish that scatters throughout the apartment as soon as the upholstery is removed. And in cardboard boxes, which replace chairs for most bachelors, it is generally inconvenient to hide valuables.

Magnetic front

One of the few hiding places (one of two, to be honest) that can be equipped even in an unfamiliar place. For example, in a hotel room or a bank vault. One condition: you must have a refrigerator at your disposal. It doesn’t have to be working – a model not connected to an outlet will do. All you need is a door. The magnets that hold it closed are usually enclosed in a rubber braid. Bend it back and cut it with a razor blade in an inconspicuous place. Some of the magnets will be easy to remove (they are usually divided into segments, and if not, the soft material can easily be crushed or broken with bare hands). The door will still close - half the magnets will be enough to fix it. And in the resulting rubber groove you can easily hide rolled up bills, columns of activated carbon tablets and other small objects.
+ The refrigerator is perhaps the only electrical appliance that burglars rarely remove due to its size.
- If they do take it away, they are unlikely to be able to use the stolen valuables, they are so well hidden. It's doubly offensive. Not for yourself, not for people.

The rattling of curtains

Another hiding place that can often be found even in a hotel is a curtain rod in the bathroom. Usually this tube with rings turns out to be hollow. Removing it is as easy as shelling pears if you have at least one hand. It is also easy to remove the rubber knob. Make sure that the valuable item is smaller in diameter than the cornice tube. The fact that it won't fit is not so bad. In the end, money can be cut into circles that can easily fit into a cornice. It's worse if the item slips to the middle of the tube and gets stuck there. Then the thieves will have to cut down the cornice - but you don’t want to once again bother people who are already short on time?
+ You can hang a curtain on the cornice. Close it when you take a shower, and those terrible puddles will no longer accumulate on the floor!
- If the tube turns out to be solid rather than hollow, it will have to be drilled out with a drill. Okay, if this happens at a hotel, you can always ask for a drill at the reception. But where can a normal person get a drill at home?

Green and fluffy

Since you still have a corpse in your refrigerator, a small, inconspicuous saucepan of aspic is unlikely to attract attention. So hide your valuables in it! If the dish is opaque and unsightly, the item lying on the bottom and wrapped in plastic will be difficult to notice. The ideal option is to forget the pan for so long that its contents have time to become moldy on top. Disgust is a powerful deterrent.
+ In pots with opaque food (borscht, mashed potatoes, Coca-Cola) you can hide anything in a couple of seconds. So, if you always have something like that in your refrigerator or on the stove, a search will never take you by surprise.
- If thieves break into your apartment hungry, they can take away food at the same time.

Extreme nervousness

The metal edging at the end of the tabletop, or, as normal people call it, “that crap that’s on the side of the table,” is good not only because it leaves puffs on clothes. With proper skill, you can hide various necessary things behind it. For example, this magazine (just hide it after you finish reading this paragraph, otherwise you won’t know where to look later). Unscrew the frame using a regular screwdriver. Use a drill to make several holes in the exposed end. Using a narrow jigsaw or even a file, remove the bridges between the holes - they are usually made of easy-to-grip material. When you're done, you'll have an excellent narrow pencil case at your disposal, the depth of which is limited only by your needs (and partly by the size of the original table). Once you return the edging to its place, the contents of the pencil case will be hidden from prying eyes. Voila!
+ The end is unscrewed, as a rule, at kitchen tables. This means that the cache will serve you for five, or even ten years: kitchen sets are updated less frequently than other furniture.
- Getting to the hiding place is not difficult, but to do this you will always have to have a screwdriver on hand. So you will have to take it from your neighbor for good or even buy it.

false stock

A variation on the theme of the hiding place, already described above, is a decoy socket. Instead of digging through the wires, risking your life, just make a box out of plywood (or steal a finished birdhouse from your nephew and saw off the roof), put valuable items in it and wall it up in the wall. Screw the outlet cover to the wall from the outside. That's it, the fake is ready! To divert your attention, you can even stick a device into it that you hardly use, for example, a vacuum cleaner, iron or electric chair.
+ A decoy socket repels no worse than a real one, but has even greater capacity.
- It would be good to fill the hole for the box at the repair stage. Picking out wires from a ready-made socket is a troublesome task. In addition, you may one day realize why one of your sockets is not working. If you start repairing it, you will feel stupid.

Every needle makes me happy

If you are one of those people who keep cacti near their computer in the hope that they will save them from harmful radiation, then, firstly, you are a victim of a myth. And secondly, you have another almost finished cache. Remove the cactus from the pot by eroding the soil around its roots. Don't be afraid to hurt him! Cacti can survive for some time without any roots at all, so if you tear off a couple, nothing bad will happen. Now cut out the core of the cactus at the bottom. If you are not a latent Greenpeace supporter, this will not be difficult to do. Hide the money inside and dig the cactus back into the pot. Thieves might think of poking the ground with a probe. But they are unlikely to get involved with the cactus itself. Thieves generally don't like pets.
+ Cacti come in different shapes and sizes, and their abundance in an apartment is unlikely to confuse anyone. So, if you want, you can hide anything in cacti, including smaller cacti!
- Due to frequent fiddling with thorny plants, your fingers will be pricked, so your friends will suspect that you are either an exhibitionist drug addict or a paranoid person who often donates blood from his finger.

Man in a case

As we have written more than once, getting rid of an unnecessary corpse will not be difficult if you have a pair of tame vultures. But what to do if they are not there, but, on the contrary, there is a corpse? Or, say, if you want to equip a secret shelter for yourself or simply hide a large item? In this case, a chest of drawers or any floor cabinet with drawers. Pull everything out and carefully remove the back walls. Then shorten them using a hacksaw or jigsaw (if the boxes have external tin runners, shorten them too by cutting a piece from the middle). Then screw the back walls into place. Place the drawers back into the chest of drawers, hiding the skeleton behind them. Now, if someone pokes around in the chest of drawers, he will have the full feeling that short drawers are a strange whim of the woodworker. Just make sure you don't accidentally saw off the latches that prevent the drawer from sliding out completely. Otherwise, thieves will quickly reveal the secret and laugh at you.
+ If you have a large chest of drawers, behind the supposedly short drawers you can hide even a Rubens painting, or even his model, not to mention a stack of porn magazines.
- Pulling things out of a hiding place is much more difficult than putting them there, so you are unlikely to be able to use its contents often. And one more thing: even if you are hiding a small item, you will have to shorten all the drawers - their different lengths can catch the thief’s eye.

Ceiling of possibilities

Why didn’t you install a suspended ceiling in your apartment in advance? Now you will have to skip this point and forever remain in the dark that things can be hidden there too. After all, there is always a more or less narrow gap between the sheet of drywall and the real ceiling. A pony, for example, won’t go in there, but jewelry taken from murdered gays can easily be stored on the ceiling. One secret: the drywall will not be pressed through if you first put a sheet of plywood on it, and then put a box or a wad of money on the plywood. The weight will be distributed over a larger area and the ceiling will not collapse. The easiest way to access the cache is through the chandelier hole. If it is too small for you (for example, you want to stick your head into the cache and make sure its contents are safe), you can widen the hole. But, you understand, it will be easier to notice her this way. By the way, the lamp, which you will then use to plug the hole again, can be coated around the edges with white toothpaste - this will create the illusion that the ceiling was whitewashed after the installation of the chandelier and it is tightly embedded. The effect will be even better than from a note pinned nearby: “There is no hiding place here, the chandelier is built in tightly.”
+ Most halogen lamps are easily removed from their sockets, which provides you with constant access to the hiding place.
- Ideally, the hiding place should be planned at the renovation stage, otherwise the gap will probably be too narrow, and it will be possible to place plywood under a heavy object only from the neighbor’s apartment above. And even then only after dismantling the floor there in advance.

Useful tips

Sometimes it becomes necessary to hide your savings so that no one finds them.

Where is the best place to hide money in your own apartment? The place should be accessible to you and at the same time inaccessible to thieves and unwanted guests.

Once you choose a suitable place to store your cash, you can safely store it there without the fear of someone finding it.

Some “storages” can be created with your own hands and camouflaged in such a way that it fits into the overall interior without attracting the attention of strangers.

Here is a list of some of the best places to hide money:

Where to hide money

1. Inside a tennis ball

Have you ever thought that you could hide money in a tennis ball?

But this is a great idea if we are not talking about a large wad of money. Just make a small hole in the ball. The cut should be large enough so that the pack can be easily inserted and just as easily removed from there.

Then place the ball back into the container with the other tennis balls.

Of course, if you have no other sports equipment, it may at least seem strange to have such a collection of tennis balls in your home.

2. At the bottom of the chest of drawers

You might think it's too obvious to hide money at the bottom of your dresser. And at first glance, it seems that the money will be found easily. And so it will be if you just put money at the bottom of the drawer where you keep socks or other things.

Instead, secure the envelope containing the money under the drawer using tape or tape. Uninvited guests could rummage through your socks and underwear all day and they would never find that envelope.

By the way, the same can be done with a chair: attach an envelope to the bottom of the seat. It is unlikely that anyone would think to turn over a chair in search of money.

3. Inside the ballpoint pen

Did you know that money can also be hidden in a pen? If it's one or two bills, then yes.

For example, you can roll up a $100 bill so that it fits inside a ballpoint pen.

Just remember about the valuable filling of your pen and do not lend it to anyone. Otherwise, after doing a good deed to someone you know, you may lose your money.

4. Under the mattress

This place is quite controversial as it is too obvious and the most common place where people hide their finances. This is especially true for older people who, out of habit, put their pension under the mattress.

Perhaps it is so common that it will be the first place a thief looks when entering an apartment.

But it’s still better than just storing money on your desktop.

5. Inside the shoes

You probably have shoes that you don't wear.

If so, and you have a pair of shoes hanging around, why not remove the insoles and use shoes like a safe?

Simply place banknotes in place of the removed insoles and store them that way.

6. In an empty food container

Free one of the products from plastic containers, rinse it thoroughly and the safe for storing your cash is ready!

Then place this safe in the freezer. Of course, the money will be cold when you take it out of the container. But this method will indeed be safe.

Or, if you don't want to store money in the freezer, you can do the same with an empty cereal box.

You can also use clean jars from various products to store money.

Just make sure that someone doesn't accidentally throw the safe in the trash.

7. Inside the cornice

Most curtain rods have ends that detach.

If this is the case, then you can remove the curtain rod, secure the money in this void with a stiff rubber band, put the ends back on the cap and secure the curtain rod again.

8. In sofa cushions

Hiding money in sofa cushions is easy.

This is easy to do because most pillows have a zipper that allows you to quickly open the pillow, stuff it with money, and zip it back up.

But the following things should be purchased for your home in order to hide money in them.

Not only can you store your cash in items that you already have at home, but you can also buy items that will mix and match with your existing home furnishings. Here are some of these items:

9. Fake electrical outlet

It would be a good idea to camouflage the safe under the guise of an ordinary electrical outlet.

This is truly an unusual place where you can hide money. However, make sure that all sockets are the same color.

Otherwise, the fact that one outlet is different from the others may arouse suspicion among an uninvited guest.

A color mismatch will give away your secret storage, and a thief will be interested in such a clear difference between one outlet and another.

Where do people hide money

10.B empty bottle from under Coca Cola

Another great way to hide your money is with an empty Coca Cola can. What is the advantage of such a safe?

It's simple: besides the fact that the can is tin and opaque, few would suspect an ordinary can of containing such valuable wealth.

Just be careful not to accidentally throw away this mini-safe.

11. In an empty shaving cream can

Since basically every man needs a daily shave, no one will be suspicious of an ordinary shaving cream on the bathroom shelf.

But such an empty jar can serve an excellent purpose: store money in it. Just always remember that the jar is not empty and put it away from prying eyes.

For anyone normal person The phrase “My home is my castle” is familiar. That is, the apartment is the last bastion of protection; people here will always understand and support you; no danger can threaten you here. Unfortunately, the harsh reality is that many people have to think about where to hide money at home and show extraordinary ingenuity when solving this issue.

From whom should you hide money?

Of course, the most obvious answer to this question is thieves. They account for the lion's share of thefts. Penetrating into apartments and private houses, they are ready to turn everything upside down to discover your savings or jewelry.

All thieves can be divided into two categories - amateurs and professionals. The former usually act impulsively and stage a raid simply by hearing that their wealthy neighbors are away on vacation for a long time. Most often, they stage a revolution in the apartment, throw books and things out of closets, panic greatly, are in a hurry, get lost at the sight of safes and rarely find well-hidden stashes.

Professionals act differently - only on a tip. They are rarely stopped by good locks and safes - after spending a few minutes, they calmly cope with them. What’s even more dangerous is that they are well versed in human psychology, they know well where to hide money in the house and therefore quickly find hiding places.

Unfortunately, sometimes you have to hide your savings from loved ones. For example, from an alcoholic husband who is ready to do anything to get the finances to buy another bottle of vodka. Or from a wife who suffers from shopaholism, who is able to spend all her savings on repairs, a car or children’s education, on updates for herself. If you have had problems with the law in the past, then you have to look for a way to hide money from the cops - during a search, an envelope with savings lying in a visible place may very well disappear.

Sometimes you have to hide your savings from your parents. In their declining years, many people become overly trusting and may well spend all their savings thoughtlessly or give them away to cunning scammers.

Therefore, the decision to let only the head of the family, who is responsible for the financial side of life, know about their whereabouts can be called the right decision. The main thing is to make sure that the hiding place will not be damaged due to the ignorance of loved ones; for example, the oven in which it is located will not be turned on while you are away from home. And of course, leave some hint for a rainy day. After all, history knows of cases when, after the death of the head of the family, an old mattress filled with money was sent to a landfill.

Where not to hide money

It would seem that there are many places where you can hide money at home. Alas, many of them, even those that seem original and successful at first glance, have been used previously, which means they are no longer reliable. After all, a cache “exposed” by someone ceases to be safe:

1. A safe is the safest place where nothing threatens your savings and valuables. Unfortunately, in practice it does not live up to expectations. A professional can always open the safe. Moreover, having discovered it, he will understand that the most valuable things are stored there. This means that she won’t search the apartment, but will immediately focus on him. On the other hand, knowing this feature, you can always use it for your own purposes. In addition, the safe can always be torn out of the wall and taken with you to open it in a safe place. After all, small models are usually used to store compact valuables.
2. Hiding places among books, CDs, in ventilation shafts and toilet cisterns have long ceased to be reliable. Unfortunately, they are found quite quickly - knowing where to hide money at home, thieves check these places first. Some people think that searching through an entire bookcase is problematic. Actually this is not true. Books are scanned roughly and very quickly.
3. Quite often, people make a stash under the sink, bathtub, or behind the toilet tank. This means that these places are also compromised - you should not use them if you do not want to part with your finances.
4. IN last years Some resourceful owners have found an original way to hide money at home - in the housings of household appliances. They dismantle stereos, televisions, computer system units - and hide the treasured package there. But, as practice shows, this is not the best option. Not finding a hiding place, many thieves (especially amateurs who do not disdain anything) will try to take out at least something valuable - household appliances. As a result, your stash will not be discovered, but you will still say goodbye to it.

What kind of place would be suitable?

Having listed the bad places, we’ll tell you where to hide money at home.

It is best to provide a hiding place during repairs - at least cosmetic ones. For example, family jewelry or large savings for a rainy day can be hidden in a small niche specially made in the wall and hidden by wallpaper. Or arrange a small warehouse in the floor, under the linoleum. Some people hide money in a crack behind the baseboard. Yes, getting there will be problematic for you too. But if you don't plan to use this money in the coming years, then thieves probably won't be able to find it.

Thieves very rarely check pipes. Therefore, a home hiding place can be arranged in a pipe under the sink. The main thing is to make sure that the package is very well insulated from moisture. It is best to fold the bills into 5-6 plastic bags, carefully wrapping each of them with tape. It is easier to hide jewelry - the main thing is that the package does not break, and gold and silver are not afraid of moisture.

A cache in a sofa or other upholstered furniture can be called a good one. You can easily tear off the back upholstery carefully, and then hide the package in the middle of the layers of foam rubber. It would seem that the hiding place is obvious. But thieves very rarely rip apart every chair, sofa and mattress on the bed.

Do you have an aquarium at home? Great - it’s hard to find a better place to safely hide your finances! Then a small bag can be hidden in a beautiful shell - they are often sold in stores. But she attracts attention. Therefore, it is better to simply bury it in the ground - put it on the bottom, and then cover it with coarse sand on top. And if you plant algae on top, then the hiding place will probably not be found. Of course, in this case, take care of very reliable waterproofing. It’s nice that in such a place your savings are reliably protected from fire.

Do you like flowers? Another good decision. After all, you can always simply bury your savings in a pot - preferably by placing a bag around the perimeter. But this is only suitable for avid gardeners. A single flower growing in an apartment will immediately attract attention. Thieves will not be too lazy to drop it on the floor, breaking the pot and checking to see if there is anything interesting there.

Many people are interested in where money is hidden in a private home. There is even more room for imagination here. After all, you can use not only the area of ​​the house, but also the surrounding area. For example, just bury it in some inconspicuous place - on the lawn, three meters north of the porch. They probably won't search here. The main thing is to hide it secretly, and not in the middle of the day, in full view of all neighbors and passers-by.

Don't forget about false hiding places

If a large amount of money is kept at home, any owner wants no one to find it. To be safe, you should not only put it in a safe hiding place, but also create several less reliable ones - you can use those listed above. For example, by hiding a million rubles in a flower pot or a pipe under the sink, you can put 50-100 thousand in a small, cheap safe or toilet tank. The main thing is not to leave money in plain sight - robbers are far from stupid and can understand that their attention is being deliberately diverted. The ideal solution will create several false hiding places. Then the robber, having found two or three, will be sure that he has completely cleaned out the apartment. And it’s not a fact that he will find everything.

Of course, I really don’t want to sacrifice even a smaller amount. But in the best case (if there is no robbery), you will not lose anything. If the preparations were not in vain, and you were not in vain looking for a place where to hide money from thieves at home, then it is better for the thieves to get a small part of your savings, and not the entire amount.

We create unpleasant working conditions

To protect your savings, you need not only to know where it is best to hide them, but also to take into account certain nuances.

The main requirement of a thief when “working” is silence and the ability to search the premises for a long time. For example, knowing that the owners will arrive home only at 18:30 or have even left for a resort for a couple of weeks, he will leisurely look through every book, rip open all the soft toys, shake out flowers from pots, and inspect pipes. Of course, with this approach, he has every chance of discovering every cache - both fake and real. Therefore, it is necessary to deprive him of peace.

The easiest way to do this is with an alarm. There is no need to register with the police or security companies - this is quite expensive. But it’s quite possible to buy an inexpensive Chinese “alarm” that will respond to door openings with a deafening roar. The main thing is to hide it more reliably, so that it “screams” for at least half a minute, and is not turned off after a few seconds. This will immediately knock the thief out of his usual rut, make him nervous and quickly get out of the apartment.

Ideally, relations with neighbors should be good enough so that when they hear the alarm, they come out to see what happened and whether your apartment needs help. In this case, you won’t even have to rack your brains about where it’s best to hide your finances from robbers.
