Tell me where to hide some cash

Make a papier mache pinata out of it. Tell the movers to be VERY CAREFUL as it’s an heirloom. Fill it with marbles.

If you don’t need the money until you get where you’re going, mail it to your new address.

Hide it in your vaccuum cleaner.

Get a funerary urn, put the money in the bottom, fill with ashes from the fireplace.

As a matter of fact. :wink:

I’ve not read that since the 1970s. Surprised it’s still remembered.

Condom works better.

don’t ask me how I know -shifty eyes-

+1. Banks have better security than most private citizens, and they’re insured.

Put it behind the bar at your local pub/bar.

Now That’s What I Call Liquid Assets…

Inside pocket of a sports jacket, or just an old shirt pocket in the closet.

For those of you (if any) who carry some petty cash in your shoes or socks while wearing them, I was wondering how much you carry? 5s,10s,20s,50s.

Personally, I carry $20,000 in my shoes; $10,000 in each shoe. Avoids banks and adds about half an inch of height.

Since the holiday season is [del]approaching[/del] here, you could bake the $$$ into a fruitcake. In most instances, that would insure no-one would touch it, with the added benefit of being able to keep for years and years and years.

Keep it on your person somehow. Fanny pack?

Otherwise I like the catfood bag or other food container suggestion. Especially some sort of unprepared food that a person wouldn’t just idly open and snack from.

There is such a thing as a money belt.
Put it there, & keep it on your person.

Roll it up and put it in a pen.

I’m trying to think of the least attractive thing to a potential thief, and I think I have the answer: Vegemite.

Go get a jar of Vegemite, remove 2/3 of the contents, place sealed cash roll inside, then refill with Vegemite.

There is no way that ever gets stolen, or even opened.

This is my favorite so far. Nice combination of funny and practical, and for extra bonus points you incorporated the word “butt.” A+. As with a Thanksgiving turkey, however, one must take care to remove the giblets before cooking the bird. :smiley:

A couple to several hundred, and I’ll be driving myself there (only about a 30-45 min drive). If I’m at the bank anyway, I’ll be depositing it – see below. But immediately post-yard sale it’s an enormous amount of ones and twenties, plus a large pile of quarters.

  • True dat.

  • Don’t forget banks are closed on Sunday evenings (when the yard sale was finally over) plus today is a U.S. holiday (Veteran’s Day) so the soonest I’d be able to make a deposit is tomorrow on my lunch break.

  • When I finally CAN deposit @ the bank waves at Leaffan I’ll be depositing most but not all of it, for this exact reason.

  • Yep. Oh, and thanks for sticking up for me, too - gave me a bit of the warm fuzzies.

So long as you’re not moving to Australia, or my house.
My parents used to use a box of baby wipes to hide the day’s takings in, until it got too battered.

Or inside a video cassette case, preferably one with a label like this. The main hazard of that is that people may give you more horrible 80s videos…

Why not combine safety with retribution for the current global economic crisis, and shove it up a banker’s bum?

Ooh - easier and less messy would be to tape it to the bottom of the litter box, under the liner. What, you don’t use a liner? Philistine!

Are you crafty? Make a candle or bar of soap around a nugget of cashy goodness in the middle.

If it’s just a few hundred dollars, why not just put it in a jar and throw it in the trunk of your car?

If you must hide it, I’d put it in a ziploc bag and put it in some large-ish foodstuff container. Maybe a box of cereal or a container of flour. Or else pull the faceplate off of a light switch or receptacle and put the cash in the junction box. No coins though, and flip the breaker before you start.

Liners work if your cat doesn’t consider mining to (and trying for through) the bottom of the box to be a hobby. :smiley:
