Bedroom: rolled up inside the tube that the clothes are hanging on. Bathroom: $5000 is about 500g. So, if I had time to prepare and had to hide it in there, It would be inserted into a modified, dried & crusty conditioner bottle in the shower. Otherwise, I hate bathrooms for this, as there is no real hiding spot available. Kitchen: Nope, nothing there either. A modified bottle of dishwasher fluid is even less ideal than the hair conditioner. Laundry Room: I have a top loader washing machine and could easily pry off the cover and tape the cash inside of the frame, when not doing laundry, of course. Garage: Most certainly not! That's worse than the bathroom and the kitchen! Living Room: This one has the best potential. The receptacle box for the cable and television connections are behind two drawers of a custom built in entertainment center and are mostly inaccessible to anyone without direct knowledge of the system. Unfortunately, it is old enough and from an era when low voltage wiring was still installed through standard electric boxes. That would be the end of that, and the hope would be that the thief would not think to look. Whereas today, those are more typically run through a simple plastic frame that is just a hole in the wall. Being able to reach a stud gives you an option of sticking a strip of Velcro to the other side of the stud and sticking on a pouch with the money. Honourable Mention: One that I actually have done in the distant past is to install a real electric sub panel roughly the size of a shoebox with a padlock tab. It appears to be genuinely functional but is completely gutted on the inside, perhaps, with a false bottom. With the impending ubiquity of EVs, this could realistically still be feasible as an in plain sight option. I believe, few thieves are willingly going to want to muck about with household electrical systems, and with a half decent lock, it just adds to the challenge. I do realise, that this is targeting a motivated thief who is fully aware of the money and any action is merely a delay tactic against inevitability. Having said that, the ideal concept is to be home for as much of that period as possible and be ready to defend against such evil. It’s not super life changing substantial, but $5000 is more than enough to be killed over. Hostage taking is not out of the question, and even a safe won’t help, when they straight up demand that cash from you. The best prevention is to not discuss financial planning in public and avoid being overtly flashy and ostentatious. My return air is roughly 3m up in my hallway ceiling, and I would absolutely bolt a safe within that space. It would require a ladder to access and would be just inconvenient enough for thieves unaware of the $5000 to just steal the ladder and other stuff, instead of bothering to investigate further. By the time they reach it, the camera system will have already picked up on their presence and alerted me. Ah, yes, the real kicker; the police department is so close to my house that those lot could easily see a drone launched 20m above it, and thieves would not even be capable of leaving the neighbourhood nor most probably the house, if an officer were deployed straight from the station.
