It has been said that if you want to hide valuables, that you should hide them in plain sight!

What that means... hide them among everyday items.  A thief only has a limited time to go searching for valuables and will look in the obvious places such as bedrooms, drawers and under the bed etc..

So you can outwit them by hiding your valuables in plain sight with this soup can safe idea.

What you will Need:

1.  A soup can  (get one that looks like other soup cans in your kitchen so it doesn't stand out on its own!)

3.  Mason or glass jar with a lid that will fit inside the can.

Everyday products are simply turned into small spaces for safe keeping everything from some emergency cash to computer USB sticks to jewelry and even extra keys.

Some of these would be small enough to use in hotel rooms as well if you don't feel that your jewelry or extra cash is safe while you are out and about, instead of taping extra cash to bottom of drawers as some tourists do!
