In today’s times, you need to develop a place to hide your valuables where no one would think of looking for them. Some people will still use the shoe box, under the mattress, or in the sock drawer to protect their valuables.

In the first place, don’t you think a thief knows these places? They’re some of the first places this creep will look to make some money. And, even if the invader is new to the business, there’s a good chance he’ll discover these items simply by quickly searching his home.

Let’s do a test. In how many places in your kitchen can you hide some valuables, eg credit cards, that you have easy access to but are still hidden from someone looking for loot? You could put the cards in a drawer, a cupboard, even your refrigerator. But then again, aren’t these places that could be easily searched?

Now what if you could put your credit cards in a can of Ajax Cleanser or a can of corn or even a can of coffee? And then you will put these cans in your closet mixed with other household items. How many people would waste time going through a bunch of cans or bottles in a cupboard looking for money? They would have to shake each item, which takes time and time is the one thing thieves don’t have.

“But these items you mentioned are filled with food and have a tight lid and maybe some liquid inside the can. How and why would I put my credit card in them?” You could say.

That is a great question and the answer is that you are putting your valuables, in this case a credit card, inside a diversion safe. Sometimes called Can Safes, Fake Safes, even Stash Safes, these devices are actually everyday objects you’ll see in any home. The item is hollowed out and usually has a screw cap for insertion of the valuable. What an amazing idea!

Diversion safes are made to be used in any room in your home, office, garage, and even in your car. If you can think of a normal item in your house that can be emptied, then there’s probably a diversion safe made to represent it. This includes cans, books, bottles, wall plugs, and even air vents. If you want a larger hiding place, you can choose a liter or gallon paint safe or others with a larger capacity.

These devices do not require batteries, are inexpensive, and work because they look like the actual product they represent. You couldn’t tell them apart if you mixed 2 regular cans of Barbasol with 1 Barbasol Diversion Safe. Give it a try if you don’t believe me.

Here’s a suggestion: put some foam on top of the Barbasol safe or some paint in a paint can storage safe for even more realism. Now there’s even less chance of a thief choosing your stash because it looks like you’re actually using the can, so why hide valuables in there?

Diversion safes are a fantastic way to hide your valuables in plain sight. There are a very large number to choose from and they are designed for your entire home. Every home should have at least one of these devices to keep your valuables safe and secure.
