Like I’d give away the best hiding spots. Nice try gestapo, you ain’t gonna catch me with anything.
Inside a box of wet wipes. Take out half the wipes, put the money (inside a baggie) in the tub, put some of the remaining wipes on top, and chuck it the storage bin under the bathroom sink with the extra shower liners and that value-sized jug of hand soap. It’s such a mundane place that most people wouldn’t think to look there. And the remaining wet wipes could go in a baggie in your pocket, so there’s no evidence the wipes were tampered with.
Klem you’re a freaking genius!
Haha I try!
Behind the laundry machine, where it can join the socks in the Lost Sock Dimension.
In the innards of my antique sewing machine, which is currently hanging upside down under its sewing table. The table is covered in stuff.
Behind the drawers of my locked filling cabinet.
If you put it in the lost sock dimension you’ll never see it again
Or maybe it’ll show up, a bill at a time, over the course of years. That’d be nice.
I’d separate it into individual bills and hide in half-assed places. Searchers would end up scrambling and getting sloppy, rushing to find bills before anybody else. Like an Easter egg hunt, their greed would be their undoing, because I can tell you from experience that 2hr is not enough time to find 100 of anything in a madhouse, even $100 bills.
But also money in my country are coated plastic so perhaps I could hide a portion of it in the shower trap, which is easy to quickly hide (but gross). The easily found Easter Cash would discourage anybody slowing down enough to be thorough. Consider the mind games an investment.
I’d stuff it anywhere really.
It’s kind of a mess in here… sorry.
Slip them into some ziplock baggies and bury them inside the mass of leaves clogging my gutters and downspouts.
You might risk disqualification on the “in your home” technicality.
One could argue gutters are apart of your home thus being inside the gutters means inside the home.
apart
I think it’s “a part” in this case. “Apart” means “separate”, which is kind of the opposite of the point you’re making.
Vacuum seal it with a small steel plate I have to add some weight. Drop it in the water softener tank and put a bag of salt on top of it.
In my rec…room
Plenum
What are the rules?
If there are none, I’d hide it in the pattern buffer.
Unbolt the toilets and lift them. There’s spaces in the base you could probably stuff more than 100 bills in each toilet. Bolt them back down again.
Ummmm, do people not already have hidden storage?
Like, places purpose built to be very hard to locate, isolated from damage, and big enough to hold emergency supplies like cash and certain useful objects if the house is invaded like that.
I kinda assumed with lemmy being what it is, it would be a fairly common practice since they aren’t that hard to install.
An example might be a small section under a house with a false wall. Or maybe a section of insulation in an attic that’s in an out of the way corner and can be cover for a small safe. Stuff like that.
Am I really that far off from the crowd here?
Who do you think is on Lemmy?
It’s not that much of a hive for the paranoid and mentally unwell.
It’s mostly just people who got sick of Reddit.
Who said anything about paranoid and mentally unwell, or are you just trying to be an asshole?
This wouldn’t even require hidden storage. A stack of 100 $100 bills would only be about 16cm X 6.5 cm x 1.1 cm and weigh about 100 grams. That’s smaller than a VHS tape.
Oh, in that case yes I would use my usual secret hiding place for cash. (it has much less than that sadlol)
It’s your butt, isn’t it.
Not about the size, it’s about the capabilities of the search. Most hundreds have traces of drugs on them. One drug dog, if they aren’t sealed well, and the search is over.
Besides, I’m just amazed that the comment section wasn’t full of people saying they’d put it in their secure stash. My main one isn’t scent secure, but that’s beside the point. I have multiple and I’m genuinely surprised that my fellow lemmings aren’t similarly equipped what with the degree of privacy and security conscious users here.

A drug dog is not going to trigger money because of trace amounts of narcotics.

A stash in or around your residence is not very secure by the very nature of proximal association. If you’re going to get this serious about it then a proper secure stash would be accessible but not readily associated with you and not somewhere you go often.
I think it depends a lot on who people distrust. I don’t particularly like US based big tech, but why would I make safe boxes from the people in my small city in my small country? The government, banks and insurance companies works fairly well here.
If it’s the police I’d lay it all out on the table. They’ll somehow only find 5k after their search and because of semantics I’ll get to keep the 10k.

Would 10k even cover the damage the searchers are going to do to my home when looking for the money?
Yeah, if the searchers are only allowed to “look”, but not disassemble anything, the challenge is easy, as long as bills aren’t visible. If the searchers are allowed to tear my home apart, I’m handing over the 10k as soon as they arrive, and wishing them good day.
Even then, I’m not sure 10k is enough for me to allow randoms in my house.
I’d rather not lose random items to sticky fingers.
