Unique Home Safes Edit
Hot hides to hold your cash in the recession

With the economy as unpredictable and weak as it has been in a long time, it makes much sense to keep a nice-sized stash of cash at home, which is why lifehacker.com investigated some hot hiding spots for our ever-loved loot.

Under the mattress is never an option. According to the Consumer Reports’ money blog, this is the number one spot robbers check when looking for quick cash. Consumer Reports suggests instead getting modern and creative when looking for the safest hiding places: “The space behind your medicine cabinet, inside a ceiling light fixture you don’t use for light, inside a waterproof bag taped into the top lid of your toilet tank,” or even inside a book on a large and overwhelming bookshelf. If all else fails, forgo the creativity for some sensibility and buy a super-safe.

Many super in-home safes are fireproof, watertight and very, very heavy…virtually inpenetratable to anyone but their owners. Some even require fingerprints (think Mission Impossible,) which can be a great way to provide a safe harbor for your increasingly valuable cache of cash. Happy hiding!
