In this post, we are going to go over some of the wacky places where to hide your money at home in plain sight. With all the financial dramas in the world, many people are playing it safe and keeping more money at home rather than in the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The US Department of Justice reports that property crimes such as burglaries made up 7.27% of the total violent crime logged in 2018\u00b9. These burglaries involve home break-ins and may be performed by expert and novice burglars alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recent research has shown that burglaries are most likely to happen when a house shows signs of being unoccupied. Drawn curtains on the ground floor, lights off, and the absence of cars parked in the garage.\u00b2
Most burglars are deterred by an occupied house, a lack of cover provided by foliage and landscaping, or even as simple as an updated house alarm system\u00b3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yet, there\u2019s no harm in further proofing your home to avoid or minimize losses you may possibly incur in the event you become a victim of a robbery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most common items being taken in robberies are portable electronics, cash and jewels, and house tools. Items that are not taken by burglars are larger items such as motor vehicles, food, liquor, toys, bikes, and sporting equipment.\u2074 (These are harder to sell and transport)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the best deterrents to hiding valuables and smaller items is to conceal them in plain sight. Burglars prefer taking in smaller items, as large bulky items such as TVs make it difficult for them to make a quick escape.\u00b3 To further safeguard yourself and your possessions, here are some tips on where to hide your valuable items in your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bedrooms are the first place a burglar will target for valuables. Most burglars prefer to commit the crime quickly and will only go straight to the master bedroom. There they collect valuables (e.g., cash and jewels) or firearms (e.g., guns) and then leave straight away.<\/p>\n\n\n
