Diverting their Attention

Diversion safes

An inexpensive but effective way to hide your valuables is a diversion safe. These safes do not look like the typical steel lockbox safe. Instead, diversion safes are disguises like a hollowed-out book or soda can. Diversion safes look like containers designed to hide your valuables in plain sight.

Common diversion safes include fake brand name containers for soda pop, canned fruit, home cleaners, or even novels. Diversion safes have removable tops or bottoms so that you can put your goods in them; and the safes are weighed so that they appear normal when handled.


DIVERSION SAFES

A couple of hints, if you have kids, sometimes the soda cans are not the best hidding places, more than one has been mistaken for a drink. The same can go for the beer cans. The vegetable cans are good if you don’t just grabe one for dinner and try to open it without checking if it’s really a vegetable, not good for harried wives (or husbands).

I have found the best Diversion Safes are the cleaning containers and garage products. Most theifs aren’t going to look in places or for items that spell work or dirt. Also the book, electrical outlet, flower pot and rock make for interesting hidding places.

The Chicago Crime Commission states that a burglar spends an average of 8 minutes in the victim’s home. I’m not sure how old these stats are, because now days burglars are getting more brazen and have even less concern about getting caught (jail time is usually minimum or none).

Think about more protection for yourself or home by owning a taser, stun gun, or pepper sprays.

Remember to hid those special valuables or mad money in a Diversion Safe, as the best hidding place is in plain site!
