There’s no denying that burglary is indeed a crime of opportunity. This is because burglars don’t want to spend a whole lot of time looking through a specific house and thereby find the things that are of higher value just to steal them. Burglars always look for precious items inside prominent locations where they will always check – no matter what happens. This means that you can easily outsmart them by just hiding your valuables in places that are ‘no so obvious’.

Depending on the overall size of the item, the best places to hide your valuable things would be the places that burglars that don’t want to search into (or even bother with). To assist you with the same, we are sharing some of the fantastic places into which you can quickly hide valuable things from dangerous burglars – with the help of home inspection in Allegheny County services.

The List Of Terrific Places Where You Can Keep Your Valuables

  • False Containers

You can easily use false containers inside your kitchen cupboard – either under the kitchen sink or inside the kitchen cabinets. Some of the examples of containers that can be used for such a purpose are food boxes, food cans, personal hygiene items, cleaning product bottles and the like. 

In today’s day and age, you can even find false containers in your local market, which can help you save time & expense of trying to create your own. 

  • Hollowed Out Books On The Bookshelf

In case you have a small collection of books on a bookshelf, then this might not be a good idea. But, if you have lots of books on a large bookshelf, then this trick will positively work as it will create a tedious job for the burglar who is trying to look for the valuables.

  • Inside A House Plant

You can use the same method as using trash containers where the plant’s soil will be used to hide your valuable items. Ensure that you keep your things inside a waterproof bag before putting them inside the potted plant soil.

  • Inside Garage Boxes

In your garage, you can find multiple empty boxes or even cans which are not being used at all. In that case, you can proceed to use those boxes to keep your valuable and thereby place them on a nearby shelf. Ensure that you tie up the bins with rope before leaving them on the self because unsecured boxes can open up anytime.
