These days there are a variety of clever little protective places to hide your valuables and they are called diversion safes. They look just like a can of hairspray or dog food, but inside they have a hollow compartment where you can hide cash, jewelry and other small things of value. The thought here is that IF someone breaks into your home, they will be quickly looking for items of value and especially electronics and such. They may rummage quickly through drawers in the bedrooms looking for cash or jewelry because most people “think” that the underwear drawer is a safe place to hide valuables, but it isn’t. Besides that, a thief who is also a pervert may want to take your wife’s thing that may have come from the lingerie store.
Diversion safes are ideal, whether you are a homeowner or even a college student living in a dorm room, as nobody would think to take or even pick up a can of an ordinary household product. Now the can of fruit cocktail “might” not be good for a college student who has a broke roommate that is always scrounging around for food or anything edible, as they could think they are having a free meal by helping themselves to the roommate’s food, and lo and behold…it’s CASH! Other than that scenario, the diversion safes are a magnificent gift to any college student, regardless of where or with whom they live.
So, even IF you have a he multi-million dollar home in Beverly Hills, a diversion safe is STILL a great thing to have and they only cost $20 to $40 depending on which one you get and where you get it! Who would have ever guessed that there was $100,000 worth of jewelry in that old looking can of women’s hairspray under the bathroom sink? Why would that can of root beer way in the back of the fridge, on the bottom shelf, call attention to itself? It wouldn’t, and it would sit there unnoticed by any intruder even if they happened to open the door of the fridge.
So, as you can see, a diversion safe is great for hiding a multitude of small and valuable items, not just from potential thieves, but also from roommates and family members. A working mom, who has teenage kids, might not want them helping themselves to twenty dollars in cash from a stash of cash that she might keep in the house. So, maybe it’s time for YOU to get a diversion safe or two or three and remember that they also make great gifts!
