when have them in the bank makes me feel bad....

Here's the idea I came out with. How to recycle wife's Valentine's Day chocolate bear. Of course....wife's not very happy...chuckle:.
Sorry about the bad pic,it's my brand new 14060M V series,I love that. And those AD's plastic cases are the best pick for bank storage/home hiding.

Mine goes in the wall safe when I'm not wearing it. Sorry, soup cans, stuffed animals, well, crooks know those hiding places.

I figure wearing mine all the time is the safest place for my watch. They will have to pry it off my cold dead wrist.

Had a friend once who decided keeping wads of cash in his stereo speakers would be a good idea. You know the rest.

If you put it in your kids room, then it might work... (if you have kids)

Clever non the less.

There's an old, and very easy to work with, trick for hiding small objects.

All you need is a small saw, a wall, and a dummy electrical outlet like this one. Cut hole in wall. Install dummy outlet. Put in item. Close cover.

Done, and it looks real enough that with something plugged in (say, a coffeemaker), nobody would bat an eye. The outlet's dead, but looks perfect.

I'm installing one this weekend- I have several dead outlets as it is, moving over the real one is a simple chore.

Very cool, Casey, I like that a lot.

Mine is in a safty deposit box and I feel great about it. It was either that or dig a hole in the backyard.

Electrical outlets are a great idea .. but if the thieves have good resources like this.. not much help..
