Recently, I posted Safety and Security Tips: 25 Ideas on Where to Hide Money in Your Car. Suppose you have some cash and or valuables that for some reason, you don't want to put in the bank . . . where do you hide them at home or in a hotel room while traveling?  Part of being frugal is not losing money to thieves . . .

Here are 20 ideas I had or found doing some research:

• Fake electrical outlets
• Between the picture and the backing of a picture frame
• In a book or CD/DVD case
• In heat and AC ducts
• Holes or hollowed out spaces in furniture
• Behind a mirror
• Behind baseboards
• Under floorboards
• Inside a hollowed out door (Under the hinges)
• Buried in a house plant
• Buried in the garden
• Inside a hollow tree in the yard
• Frozen and wrapped like meat in the freezer
• False pipe in the basement
• Inside the service panel of your washing machine or dryer
• Duct taped under fixtures in a hotel room or at home
• In waterproof containers in the toilet water tank or dehumidifier
• Behind the oil tank in the basement
• In a ziploc inside of coffee, flour, rice, etc.
• In a diversion safe  (fake product safe)

Where do you hide cash and valuables?
