In Part 1, we talked about how to hide your valuables in plain sight so as to fool a robber into believing nothing is there. We talked about several ways you can learn how to hide valuables and now I want to point out some simple ideas using different stash cans and diversion tactics.
Take a moment and think about every room in your home and think about how to hide money or what would be a great diversion for your hidden stash. Think about each room and where you can hide stash and where are the places a thief would probably look first.
Now let’s use that information to think about secret hiding places or better yet a hidden compartment.
Here are a few ideas that you could use but don’t limit your imagination to these because the list of stash cans and other diversion safes are far more than what I’m about to suggest, this is just to get you thinking about what you can do.
Here are some ideas for several rooms of your home:
Bathroom: Try a hairbrush with a hidden compartment
Bedroom: The trusty soda can safes such as Coca Cola, Dr. Pepper, Sprite, 7 UP and A&W Root Beer work great. (If you maintain a squeaky clean bedroom you might not want to do this one). Another great one would be a wall socket diversion safe (they cost about $6 and can be installed in minutes and are perfect for jewelry and money).
Den: The Book Safe in the den is an awesome choice.
Laundry Room: Now here is a great product that a thief will never think about (there’s always the possibility they may stop and use it if their worried about their appearance). A Lint Roller diversion safe is a very good slight of hand diversion especially in the laundry room.
Kitchen: The ideas for the kitchen are numerous but think about a can of Oven Cleaner to hide stash. The bottom unscrews to hide your valuables and is weighted to feel like the real thing.
Living Room: The Wall Socket hidden compartment is absolutely my first choice especially for jewelry or to hide money.
Garage: This is another area were the list for slight of hand diversion safes are almost limitless. Try something like the JB Oil Treatment stash can.

Hi Chris!
I completely agree with ‘dog leashes’. Who would have thought about hair brush as a diversion safe?? ..
I have close relatives who were the victims of a home invasion in Florida in 2009! And we couldn’t believe that the robbers left about $100 lying in steel tumbler. Had my relatives known about diversion safes like Coca Cola cans, etc they would have saved so much that day.
