1. Books. Many people believe that thieves will definitely not search through books because it takes a lot of time. However, this is not true. Most of the time, criminals just throw all the books off the shelves onto the floor, which will be opened and the money will fall out.

2. Household appliances. For some reason, people believe that hiding money in a freezer, refrigerator, vacuum cleaner, or other large household appliance will definitely protect it from thieves. Of course, thieves won't have time to unwind the appliances and disassemble them, but they can still look inside. If thieves don't find the money, they will try to compensate for their efforts by destroying your home.

Another unreliable place to keep money is in a computer system unit, hardware, video equipment, or in a vacuum cleaner dust bag.

3. Places where you store various junk. People often hide jewelry and money among other things. But thieves are well aware of these places, so they start looking for them there.

4. Bath and toilet. Hiding money in the toilet bowl is an extremely bad idea, as thieves will definitely look there. Thieves are also aware of bathroom shelves, shampoo and soap bottles, etc.

5. Ventilation, decorative elements on the walls. Thieves always look at mirrors, carpets, and ventilation. Therefore, these places are definitely not suitable for storing your savings.

6. Clothes. If you hide your money in your underwear and think that thieves won't go through it, you're wrong. Shirt and sweater pockets, socks, underwear, old shoes, wallets, or bags are not good places to keep money.

7. Cereal jars in the kitchen. Another particularly popular place, albeit unreliable, is cereal jars. A can of cereal can be opened and the contents poured out in a few seconds.

8. Under the mattress. Thieves lift mattresses and cut the covers. They do the same with upholstered furniture and toys.

We remind you that some things are simply forbidden to lend to neighbors. They deprive you of success and bring financial problems and troubles. Read about the them in the UAportal material.
