Hiding things in unusual places

Good overview of how to hide a variety of items in unusual places; may either be well hidden or hidden in plain sight. Something here for everyone.

Helpful AND Funny

What I liked about this book was the carefree attitude. It did the subject the way I liked. As a fun idea to play around with. The suggestions were very good for the smaller things. How to hide money. How to hide jewelry. Then it grew to larger and larger items. Eventually it got into hiding a closet, hiding a room, hiding a house, hiding a corporation. :)

Excellent Book

I highly recommend this book. It goes into great detail on how to hide small things as well as large objects and personnel. It's well worth the price, trust me!

Book offers lots of hiding ideas for inside/outside of home

I have several books on hiding places. While all of them have useful ideas, the strong suits of this book are the outdoor, structural, and away-from-home hiding places.The outdoor hidies are great for those with their own land. There are several innovative ideas that the other books do not have, including a tree stash.The structural hidies are also different -- these aren't just making false drawer bottoms. :) There are pipe, appliance, wall and even drain hidies. Furniture hidies are covered extensively as well, but this review focuses on what makes this book different from the other hiding books.The away-from-home hiding places are ingenious, easy to do and will hide your valuables from the casual thief and the sticky-fingered maid alike. Obviously, there is little to no carpentry involved and in fact you could use the same principles in your own home if you are carpentry impaired like me. :)One last strong point of this book is the writing. Throughout, it talks about the psychology of the thief and why some hides work better than others to prevent theft. The main focus is not hiding things from the government or the police, who often have a whole different mindset and a lot more time than a thief does. If you are more interested specifically in strategies to hide objects from law enforcement or the government, there are hiding books that focus on that rather than thieves and I recommend you get one of those instead.Please note: As with all hiding place books, you simply must have some carpentry experience and a lot of patience. There are no step-by-step, hold-your-hand instructions on how to make a hiding place here (or in any other hiding book I've seen either). The ideas are presented, and it is up to you to make them work in your own home or land.

Keeping people's noses out of your business!

I found this book to be one of the most useful and surprising help books i have ever had the good fortune to stumble upon. When I saw 'How to Hide Anything' I had to buy it, and that was a choice I am glad I made. As a college student, I know there are things I don't necessarily want roommates, parents, and especially authorities to snoop around in. Often, I felt that my own hiding places still left me nervous. Other times, I hid things in such obscure places, I forgot where they were! This book, however, lives up to its title. Its ideas are ingenius and the drawings practically do the work for you. Now I am confident that everything I want to keep private will be kept private! Buy this book.
