Like I’d give away the best hiding spots. Nice try gestapo, you ain’t gonna catch me with anything.
Give it to my youngest kid. She’ll put it somewhere where nobody can find it. Unfortunately this would also mean we can’t find it either.
It’d be a wonderful surprise in the future though
I’d separate it into individual bills and hide in half-assed places. Searchers would end up scrambling and getting sloppy, rushing to find bills before anybody else. Like an Easter egg hunt, their greed would be their undoing, because I can tell you from experience that 2hr is not enough time to find 100 of anything in a madhouse, even $100 bills.
But also money in my country are coated plastic so perhaps I could hide a portion of it in the shower trap, which is easy to quickly hide (but gross). The easily found Easter Cash would discourage anybody slowing down enough to be thorough. Consider the mind games an investment.
In my rec…room
I’d stuff it anywhere really.
It’s kind of a mess in here… sorry.
Fridge condenser area
Put a vest on one of my cats and put it in one of the pockets. Lil buggers disappear into the mirror dimension when strangers come around.
That depends on whether I can separate the bills and keep the ones they don’t find, or if it’s an all or nothing system. There’s a loose floorboard in one room, so if it’s all or nothing, I’d lift that and chuck the package as far as possible under there, replace the board, then mess up multiple other places in the house.
If they can be separated, there are 100 notes, and they’re individually going in every gap, crevase and hole I can find. Between the floor boards, under carpeting, in the gaps in the bottom of the couch, I have a stapler, so pop the bases loose on some chairs, then restaple them shut, tape them under floor level cupboards. I’d have to move fast, but their unlikely to find everything, so I’d be finding random $100 notes for ages afterwards, because there no way I’d remember everywhere I put them.
I like this idea, there’s no way they’ll find them all. They’ll find some and you’ll still have a tidy profit
Would 10k even cover the damage the searchers are going to do to my home when looking for the money?
Yeah, if the searchers are only allowed to “look”, but not disassemble anything, the challenge is easy, as long as bills aren’t visible. If the searchers are allowed to tear my home apart, I’m handing over the 10k as soon as they arrive, and wishing them good day.
Slip them into some ziplock baggies and bury them inside the mass of leaves clogging my gutters and downspouts.
You might risk disqualification on the “in your home” technicality.
One could argue gutters are apart of your home thus being inside the gutters means inside the home.
apart
I think it’s “a part” in this case. “Apart” means “separate”, which is kind of the opposite of the point you’re making.
Some stupid ideas:
-
Roll the bills and stuff them into a condom. Shove it up my ass. It might feel uncomfortable for the next couple of hours, and a few more hours after that, but hey, 10k USD, right?
-
I have a bunk bed that is made out of hollow metal tubes. Roll the bills, insert into a plastic bag and drop it into one of the vertical tubes holding the bed up. It should fall all the way down, with no way to see it unless you already know it has fallen inside it.
-
Put the bills (flat) inside a plastic ziploc bag and shove it inside my PC. I’ll insert it between my SSD, or underneath the motherboard.
Of those ideas, I quite like the first two. Easiest to do is the second one, so that’s probably what I’d do.
I think you are underestimating how thick the roll would be, unless you trained your ass very hard you won’t be able to shove it there. Second one sounds good!
-
Behind the laundry machine, where it can join the socks in the Lost Sock Dimension.
In the innards of my antique sewing machine, which is currently hanging upside down under its sewing table. The table is covered in stuff.
Behind the drawers of my locked filling cabinet.
If you put it in the lost sock dimension you’ll never see it again
Or maybe it’ll show up, a bill at a time, over the course of years. That’d be nice.
Ummmm, do people not already have hidden storage?
Like, places purpose built to be very hard to locate, isolated from damage, and big enough to hold emergency supplies like cash and certain useful objects if the house is invaded like that.
I kinda assumed with lemmy being what it is, it would be a fairly common practice since they aren’t that hard to install.
An example might be a small section under a house with a false wall. Or maybe a section of insulation in an attic that’s in an out of the way corner and can be cover for a small safe. Stuff like that.
Am I really that far off from the crowd here?
This wouldn’t even require hidden storage. A stack of 100 $100 bills would only be about 16cm X 6.5 cm x 1.1 cm and weigh about 100 grams. That’s smaller than a VHS tape.
Not about the size, it’s about the capabilities of the search. Most hundreds have traces of drugs on them. One drug dog, if they aren’t sealed well, and the search is over.
Besides, I’m just amazed that the comment section wasn’t full of people saying they’d put it in their secure stash. My main one isn’t scent secure, but that’s beside the point. I have multiple and I’m genuinely surprised that my fellow lemmings aren’t similarly equipped what with the degree of privacy and security conscious users here.

A drug dog is not going to trigger money because of trace amounts of narcotics.

A stash in or around your residence is not very secure by the very nature of proximal association. If you’re going to get this serious about it then a proper secure stash would be accessible but not readily associated with you and not somewhere you go often.
Inside a box of wet wipes. Take out half the wipes, put the money (inside a baggie) in the tub, put some of the remaining wipes on top, and chuck it the storage bin under the bathroom sink with the extra shower liners and that value-sized jug of hand soap. It’s such a mundane place that most people wouldn’t think to look there. And the remaining wet wipes could go in a baggie in your pocket, so there’s no evidence the wipes were tampered with.
Klem you’re a freaking genius!
Haha I try!
