[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 208596, member: 3444"] I've just been thinking about this today. A good friend confided to me that their house was robbed while the were away for the afternoon at the beach this past summer. Stole ALL of her jewelry, including her wedding rings, as well as perfume and some of her clothing (still had tags). I was trying to think of where I should hide my stuff that it wouldn't be found. She said the thieves rifled through ALL of her drawers, closets, bathroom cupboards, kids rooms, desk drawers -- pretty much any place she would have thought to hide something. Marg you have some good ideas with regard to the animal quarters. My friend suggested building a false bottom for our cat litter box and stashing stuff there. Or maybe our chicken coop. Or I'd also thought of sticking things in a ziplock bag and putting it at the bottom of our pond with a brick on it. The water is turtle green about 80% of the year, and I don't think anyone would bother to feel around with all the turtle sludge and muck for anything... We've had a recent burglary in our area while a family was home ASLEEP -- that takes cajones, let me tell you. The three male thieves accidentally woke up the 15yo girl while they rummaged through her room. They managed to make off with two laptops. Apparently they got in through an unlocked door. It's very upsetting and disconcerting -- especially since we live in what's usually considered a very quiet and safe area. There have been many times we've forgotton to lock our front door and left for the day, with no problems. Lately, though, I am MUCH more diligent about ensuring deadbolts are locked and first floor windows are as well. [/QUOTE]
