Hiding your life's treasures under your pillow or mattress won't
safeguard them from a thief. However, this doesn't mean that a safety deposit box at your
bank is the only place for them.
In fact, the traditional approach of keeping one's valuables in the home is an excellent
idea, provided they are hidden in really secret places. Criminals can easily crack or walk
away with most safes. A diversion safe is a great place to hide your valuables. Not even
the best burglar can fine a well hidden, hidden safe.
The ten following ideas of where to locate a secret compartment will offer maximum
security. The first five, because they do require some construction to the house, are
better for people who own their own homes. The second five ideas can be effectively used
by apartment dwellers or renters.
Hiding Your Valuables In Plain Site
(Diversion Safes)
1. Walls
Are great places for hidden safes, because walls are hollow, there can be hidden space
behind every wall in every room.
The ideal spots are behind solid, fixed items, like coat racks, or boards
along closet walls supporting the clothes hanging pole. Remove the attachment and hollow
out a compartment and make sure you camouflage your handiwork well.
2. Beams
Ceiling and wall beams are popular architectural features in homes. Make one of the
false beams (one which doesn't offer much support) moveable, and hollow an opening out of
its top or back side.
3. Baseboards
One of the easiest-to-construct compartments is one behind a baseboard. These strips of
wood that run along your walls next to the floor are so common, no thief would give them a
second glance.
Choose a short section of board, and carefully pry it away from the wall
with a crowbar. Now hollow out a hole, and replace the baseboard.
4. Paneling
Wall paneling offers a method of opening large areas of dead space for wall safes.
Your best choice is behind actual boards nailed to the wall individually, not behind the
four-by-eight sheets.
5. Mirrors
For a compartment offering little depth, but a large area of space, you can construct a
hollow right behind a full-length mirror on your closet door. Hollow out your compartment,
then mount your mirror with sliding tabs.
6. Furniture
Complicated secret spaces built into furniture have for centuries been favorites. A simple
approach is to remove the molding of a table or desk, and make a hollow.
7. Bookcases
A common source of easily overlooked space is found at the base of a bookcase. The lowest
shelf is usually raised above the ground level several inches, and this space is enclosed
with a base-molding.
If you can make the lowest shelf removable, you can attach your valuables to the
underside of this shelf by means of magnets.
8. Light Switch
An easy and highly deceptive secret space can be constructed behind an unused electric
outlet plate or light switch plate. Make sure the electricity is shut off when you
remove the plate. Then make sure you permanently disconnect any live wires going to secret
space. Always be careful when working with electricity.
9. Houseplants
Secret compartments can be constructed in the base of your plant pots: this will be
especially effective if you have lots of plants. Seal your valuables well in plastic if
they can be water-damaged.
10. Buried Treasure
Finally, don't overlook the oldest hiding technique in history, of burying your valuables
underground. Make sure you have an accurate map of where your treasure is buried.
