Wall safes are probably the most common type of secret safe that people know of. They can be hidden behind bookcases, paintings, and picture frames. They’re always made of hard-to-crack metal and secured by either a key or combination lock. Wall safes, however, can be occasionally expensive and they do require a bit of installation. If you want the easiest but most effective way of hiding your possessions, there are other secret safes that you can make use of.

Secret Can Safes
Studies reveal that burglars spend approximately eight minutes at their victims’ home. They’re most likely to target the bedroom or study, thinking that it’s where you’d most likely hide your cash and other valuables. Make sure they end their search with empty hands by hiding your possessions in plain sight.

Empty, used cans littering the living room or dining room table are nothing out of the ordinary. Stocking unused cans in your cupboards and cabinets is no uncommon sight either. But what they don’t know is that a few of those are actually decoys and used as secret safes.

Check out the market and you’ll see an amazing array of secret safes in the guise of decoy cans. There are decoy secret safes for cans of hair spray, puncture seal tire inflator, liquid wrench, foot or jock itch spray, and French roast coffee. They look and feel exactly the same with the original because they’re made of the same products.

To use them, you just twist off the top or bottom of the decoy can and push your money or jewelry inside. Afterwards, don’t go out of your way to hide them. Let them blend in with the rest and you’ll give thieves a harder time to find what they’re looking for.

Other Decoys
Cans are not the only form that secret safes borrow these days. There are a lot more guises to choose from! As such, even though burglars know the various forms that secret safes may take, the sheer variety of them will make it difficult to even decide where to start their search.

Secret safes can be found inside natural-looking stones. Every product differs in shape, just like how natural stones are. Use them to keep your spare house key safe and place them right next to other stones or rocks in your garden.

Secret safes also take the form of books. These are perfect if your study room is lined with book shelves.

Other guises include salt shakers, compact disc cases, and even candles. As you can see, all these can be placed haphazardly around your house and burglars will be none the wiser.
