    Yes, it has a giant dial on the front. I keep it next to my anvil.

    Poor thing.... it must have an awful surface, where you live.....

    Can I have it?

    Buy a huge buttplug, in a light colour like white or light blue and a kitkat, cut out the bottom of the buttplug and replace it with something that screws on as an upside down lid but LOOKS like a grip, open the kitkat and smear it on the buttplug, eat the kitkat, put your money in the buttplug, and put it in the back corner of your closet.

    I've always been a fan of using several hiding places. Especially when traveling I keep a little cash in a couple spots, a lot of cash in another, and passport/credit cards in yet another spot.

    I've always been good at finding stuff (snacks were never safe in my house when I was growing up) so hiding stuff is fairly easy. There's always lots of places to hide something, but a committed thief with no time constraint is going to find your valuables eventually.

    I do that, it's a result of my multiple hiding places and heavy pot smoking.

    But it's OK, because I seem to find those cash-stashes when I need them the most, so that's come in very handy a couple of times.

    But at least I think the premise is sound. I guess we don't have ants that badly here. All you need is a touch, anyways..... just enough brown to be obviously brown on a light background.... and make anyone who's holding it puke. (also, stuff it with something soft, to prevent noise or movement if it's picked up)

    Alternatively, I just leave wads of cash sitting around, or if I have a very large amount (many hundreds of dollars, like a semester's pay or something) I put them between the pages of a book, I just don't see electronics-knicking thieves taking my origin of species or history books or whatever.

    Make sure it's not hidden deeply. hide it in plain sight, but not so much in plain sight that people stumble over it.

    Once I lost a gram of weed for weeks by putting it behind the dust cover of a speaker, inches from my keyboard. I'd only meant for it to be there a few hours, and finally realized it was there long after I'd initially forgotten it, because I saw the cloth dust cover at a funny angle and noticed a tiny bump sticking up against it. I'd probably spent hours looking for it, fruitlessly.....

    Idk we keep our cash in a clear water jug in front of an open window. We have probably just over a grand. Nobody has stolen it this far. Why the paranoia? Is it a lot of money?

    Hidden in a crawlspace is safe, and in the tank of a toilet. If you have an unfinished basement, you can shove it behind the insulation in the walls.

    My sister used to do that until someone stole it. They only had a few hundred but it was hidden in my nephews room and it was the only thing taken with no forced entry so it was someone they knew.

    I actually had an anvil. We found it in the basement... my theory is that it was holding the house down because of how high the water tables are here.

    We gave it to my dad's friend, though...so we're due to float away at any time now that we don't have the anvil

    We have a big safe...500lb I believe. But its filled with military documents and secrets that would RUIN THE WORLD! just kidding...it would only ruin parts of the world :D

    Luckily for me, I surround myself with very few people these days. And those I see, I'm fairly certain would never steal it. They have little things called pride, dignity, and jobs.

    No one would ever accuse me of being Martha Stewart. My Dad once called my housekeeping "casual". I actually have two small decorative canisters in the kitchen one for bills the other for change. I have never been robbed. I live in a poor section of town so robbers probably go elsewhere in any case. :sunny:

    An old man here in NZ withdrew his life savings of around $20'000 NZD and called the police a few hours later to report it stolen. It turned out he had hidden it somewhere in his house, and then forgot he had hidden it.
