... in your house. Things you don't want thieves to find. Where do you stash them? I am talking ss cards and cash you keep on hand for emergencies, not dead people or your porn collection.
 
You worry about thieves breaking in to steal your SS cards?
And I thought everyone had their card with them. I do, always have. Everyone I know has it on them more often than not.
 
hollowed out bible. doesn't everyone have one of those?

A fireproof home safe or locked strong box.


 
I have a strongbox, but that's really in case of a fire or some emergency where I need to grab the most important stuff the fastest.

Hide the strongbox somewhere if you want the extra step.

No dead or still living bodies? I don't have a clue.

Seriously, the first places you think of the buglers will think of. Try putting them in the attic labeled Christmas decorations. That is if you have a bunch of other boxes labeled Christmas decorations. Going into the attack takes way too much time. If you think you have a secret hiding place in your bedroom that no one will look in you would be wrong.

It's always good to hide things in the attack.

You make a good point, going into the attack is very time consuming, but sometimes it really is the best defence.
 
Emergency cash should be in a safe deposit box. Nothing will happen between noon Saturday and 9am Monday that can't be dealt with. No self respecting kidnapper does anything on a weekend.
Small amounts of cash can be kept in the freezer but really, it's maybe a couple hundred bucks at most. Not worth too much effort. They want it bad enough to break in then let them have it.
And just a piece of advice. Emergency cash should be in the 10K to 100K range. Less is no good, more is way too hard to explain. If you need more you can get it quickly enough in other ways.
I know what you're thinking, "If it's in a box then I don't have to explain it." This is true until the emergency arises in which case you do need to explain where half a million in cash suddenly came from. Sure, the cops might be too busy right at that moment to ask but they will get around to it. And if it's not the cops but a blackmailer or you stupidly decide to take the kidnappers on alone, they now know you had a half million in cash at your fingertips. Tell me that won't get them to thinking about some future installments.
 
Having had my house broken into, I can say that putting anything of importance in your bedroom is not a good idea. I kept the important stuff in the laundry room in the rafters.
 
Use your environment. If you have a cat, bury it in a bag of cat litter. Have a laundry basket that has fake clothes in it on top of important stuff. Just find something easily overlooked and put it there.

Whenever I shred documents at the end of the year, I always cover it with what I clean out of the kitty litter box. If they want to steal my identity going through that, more power to 'em.
