Hello everyone and welcome to Gourmet Food.
With the advancement of technology, it is now more and more convenient for us to use mobile payment.
However, although there are relatively few scenarios where cash is used today, there are still some places where cash is needed. In order to avoid the situation that the phone is out of battery and cannot shop, many people still carry some cash with them or put some in the car. In addition, those elderly people who are not very good at operating smartphones will also have some cash on hand at any time.
And for the convenience of use, many people tend to take out more cash at one time, take some cash out, and put the rest at home. However, leaving cash at home can still be a bit worrying, and if it is stolen by a thief, the loss can be huge.
Today, I'm going to share with you four great places to hide your money, and you can keep it in a safe and practical place at home, so that thieves will never find it. Let's find out with me.
The first place: tissue boxes
In modern home life, people often place everyday items in a prominent place for convenience, such as placing tissue boxes on coffee tables and dining tables in the living room or dining room. This practice not only facilitates daily use, but also creates an opportunity for us to hide cash.
When people store their valuables in their homes, they tend to hide them in hidden corners of their homes to avoid the risk of theft. But this practice is not always the safest, and sometimes it can be a target for thieves. In psychology, there is a concept called "dark under the lamp", which refers to the fact that people tend to ignore the most conspicuous places. Because these places seem so obvious that people think that thieves won't go there looking for valuables. This psychology can be skillfully exploited in home security.
Placing cash or valuables in the most conspicuous place in your home, such as hiding cash at the very bottom of a tissue wrap and then placing it in a tissue box and placing it on a dining table or coffee table, is actually a psychological tactic. When thieves infiltrate homes, they usually look for places that appear to be hidden or contain valuables, without paying attention to the obvious ones. Therefore, placing valuables in a conspicuous place may become safer because of this psychology of the thief.
Placing cash or valuables in tissue boxes not only takes advantage of people's psychology, but also takes into account the practicality and aesthetics of the home. As a common item in the home, tissue boxes are placed in a location that usually does not attract the attention of thieves. In addition, the design of tissue boxes tends to be simple and elegant, which can blend well into the home environment without appearing obtrusive or attracting unwanted attention.
The second place: the freezer compartment of the refrigerator
When thieves enter a home to steal, they usually have some targets that they habitually rummage through. In general, drawers tend to be the first place they will focus on. These seemingly ordinary drawers may hide valuables or cash in the eyes of thieves. They will eagerly open drawers in the hope of finding something of value.
The wardrobe is also a place that thieves won't let go. They rummage through their wardrobes to see if they can find precious jewelry, cash, or other items of value. Those delicate jewelry boxes and ladies' dressers will also attract the attention of thieves. They believe that these places may be stocked with expensive jewelry and trinkets, which is one of the key targets of their theft. The safe is the key to the thieves' attempts to conquer, and they will try their best to open the safe and obtain the valuables inside.
However, there are some places that thieves tend to overlook, and this gives us unique ideas for hiding money. The second place we want to talk about hiding money, which many friends may not think of, is the refrigerator or freezer at home.
Imagine carefully wrapping cash in plastic wrap or an airtight bag before quietly placing it in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator. In this freezer, daily foods such as raw meat, raw fish, steamed buns, dumplings, noodles, and ice cream are usually stored. Who would have thought that among these seemingly unrelated items would be hidden our important wealth?
When we chose to hide our cash in this special place, it was absolutely impossible for a thief to come here to look for it. Their attention is usually drawn to those more obvious valuables and not to this food-filled area. At the same time, the low-temperature environment also has an unexpected benefit, that is, it can play a certain role in disinfection and sterilization for cash. In such an environment, cash can be protected from external bacteria and contaminants, and relatively clean and hygienic is maintained.
The third place: inside the kennel
When we think of kennels, the first thing that comes to most people's minds is cute cats or lively dogs resting and playing comfortably inside. Some friends may think of all kinds of cat and dog hair, food scraps, and even peculiar smells. But in any case, it seems to have nothing to do with money. But it's this seemingly impossible connection that makes the cat kennel a great place to hide money.
Hiding cash in a cat's kennel has a wonderful sense of concealment. When thieves commit burglary, they tend to focus on those places they think may be hiding valuables, such as drawers, wardrobes, jewelry boxes, dressers, etc. And for the pet's nest, they probably won't pay too much attention, after all, who would have thought that in the middle of a pile of fluffy mats and toys, there is money hidden.
I remember that there is a very good-looking TV series "Latent", there is such a clip of hiding money: Cui Ping, the wife of the protagonist Yu Zecheng, in order to prevent her home from being stolen by reactionary spies, hid the gold bars in her own chicken coop, the most inconspicuous place, and successfully evaded the enemy's search many times.
It seems that art really comes from life! When we choose to hide our cash in a kennel, it's like finding a unique sanctuary for our wealth. Especially in families with dogs, thieves will also worry that they will be bitten if they go to turn over the kennel, so this area will not be touched. Of course, when hiding money, we should also pay attention to some protective measures. For example, you can use a plastic bag or a small cloth bag to properly wrap the cash, prepare a towel, sew the towel on the innermost side of the kennel with a needle and thread, make a simple pocket, and then put the money in the pocket, so as to avoid being damaged or soiled by the pet.
The fourth place: the secret compartment in the home
This unique little way to hide money is actually carefully planned by us in the process of house decoration. At the time of the renovation, the bathroom had a vacant socket with no wires in it. The decorator originally wanted to seal it with cement, but when my husband saw it, a wonderful idea came to mind. We deliberately asked the master to enlarge the originally reserved wire box, paste tiles on the outside, and add a plug-in panel, while the inside was completely empty.
The space inside is much more spacious than the panel from the outside, with sturdy tiles on both sides to block it, and a clip inside the middle panel to hold the interior space securely. This small space has a capacity of about two liters. Don't underestimate these two liters, if they are all 100 yuan bills, roughly calculated, they can probably hold about 100,000 yuan in cash.
A small space like this can be set aside at the beginning of the renovation of your home. There are many options for camouflage elements on the outside, such as tiles or plug-in panels, and no one can easily doubt it. It could be a switch to control the lights, or a faucet that has been left unattended, or even an inconspicuous smoke alarm, leakage protector, or something.
These ordinary items in our daily lives can be an excellent "cover-up" for us to hide our wealth, providing us with a safe shelter for storing our belongings.
These are the 4 places where you can hide cash in your home. In addition to the location where we hide money at home, there are actually several things that need special attention.
1. Before we hide money at home, it is important to seal the money well, and you can choose to pack it properly with plastic wrap or a sealed bag, so as to avoid moisture and mold in cash. Because once the cash is moldy or rotten, it is difficult to go to the bank to exchange it.
2. When we hide cash, we must inform our family members to prevent them from accidentally throwing it away without knowing it.
3. There is no need to keep a lot of cash at home, it is more appropriate to keep about 35,000 or 10,000 yuan, and it is recommended that you save a large amount of cash in the bank for more safety.
In addition to the tips you need to hide money in your home to prevent it from being lost, there are other security measures you can take at home, such as installing burglar-proof windows, installing surveillance, or buying a safe that can be embedded in the wall. All of these measures can enhance the security of our belongings at home to a certain extent, providing an extra layer of protection for our valuable possessions.
