We recently were trying to find somewhere to hide a key for my son to get in the house, he now, just takes it with him, but initally I thought he might lose it while playing at school. Do you have a secret hiding place for keys, money, your journal or something else? I don't want to know where your secret stash, is I just wanted to know if you have one. NO, I don't want to break into your house and steal your things. LOL! Perhaps you keep a little extra money in a fold of your wallet or keep an extra key under the mat of your cars floor. Do you have a secret hiding place?

I wish I had found a decent hiding place for my journal where I used to live, then it would have stopped my ex from finding it and reading it! Very embarrassing indeed. Now I don't write a journal any more in case it falls into the wrong hands. I do have a hiding place where I keep all my personal stuff and confidential stuff out of harms way, it has a good lock on it, just in case ;0)

Yeah, Before I got a copy of the house key my husband had to leave it under the cats bowl on the porch. I do hide my money occasionally I hide it in the picture frames behind the picture or in fake flowers vases. Journels and things I don't want others getting into I do hide because they are a few nosies that visit and pick up and trifle through everything as though it is theirs. My mom once hid money and forgot about it and when she was looking for something in her wallet she found it 2 months later.

I would take one pair of socks and place it in one pair of my winter shoes, and hide my key inside the shoes. No one is getting into your old winter shoes and check the socks. I find this as the best place ever.... As long as you remember to check it later...

when I was growing up my folks used to keep the spare key in the lamp on the side of the house - I do not hide a key near the entrance of my home because I think that most people do and the hiding places are now too common and obvious for an intruder to find.

I don't have a hinding place for my keys in the apartment... because there's just not place secret enough for that... but in my old home... we use to hide the key inside the washing machine... it is located at the back of the house... and before anyone can get near it... that person would have to face two guard dogs... so i think that is a fairly safe secret place...

Yes,I think everyone may have the place to hide somthing like extra money,keys,letters and so on.I have several place to hide things and they have different actions.I often put my extra money on the book stelf and put the key above the door or the windows.I think is an easy way.I know somebody will put it under the floor but I think there is no need.I think the things you hide always dirricult to be found unless they really want to find it.

Here in Australia you can buy a little key holder that looks just like a rock. If you have rocks in your garden you can just sit it with them, the bottom slides out and you can place a key inside. It's quite realistic looking. I've never used one myself but know others who do.

my journal i used to keep in such an obvious place...under my mattress. I stopped keeping one I dont know why i stopped. Keys... I live on a farm I've got a nail in one of the doghouses that you have to reach in and take the key off. I had it tucked between some square bales at one point or in the water trough..you have to life the lid to flip it open to get to all the breakers and pipes for heating it in the winter so id drop it into the hole. Theres also a nail on my deck's roof i hang my keys on if i go horse back riding. Books and such that i don't want found now...i have a storage container for my sewing material under the spare bed that i bury all that kind of stuff into the bottom of it..or into my "treasure" box in my closet of old baby clothes, stamps treasures from trips.

surely,we have secret stash for some very personal things,such as our diary,our important documents such as Property Certificate,it's very important for us,cause for these things,we don't want any outside person to see or know it.It makes us feel safe.Another purpose is that we try to aviod being stolen by thieves.At my hometown,we have planted vegetables in an arched framework,my parents built a small house at the opening of this framework and get the the door locked,as they often go there(at least 3 times a day),so,they usually don't take the key with them,they put it under the grass near the door,it's very safe.

Of course. Without it my wife would never get any surprises! We have an interesting relationship. She give me money. Then steals it back before I have a chance to spend it. LOL! Thats marriage for you. I squirrel away a little though and then, when I have enough for a surprise, or her birthday comes round; she gets something that won't appear on the bank balance.

well from the word hiding place i remembered my mom would hide my video game away from me all the time.but i was clever enough i was able to even catch out her best hiding place and start my play again.but she would catch me soon and find a new one,and then after 4-5 days i would find that.well now i am grown up,staying away from all,and got a fantastic little place to hide mine extra key.
