There are a few places in our home where everybody thinks to hide things: under the mattress, in the underwear drawer, or behind a book. Unfortunately, those are also the first places a thief will think to look when trying to get in and out of your home as quickly and quietly as possible. What we all need are hiding places that – even if potential thieves know about them! – are so out-of-way and cumbersome they’re not worth exploring— like this one from Make Zine! Check out their tutorial on turning an out-of-the-way area into a stash space, and see if you can guess how it’s done!

So what do you think? Does this hiding spot make sense to you?
