Hiding Your Valuables UPDATED

By Dr. Tom Barrett

This is a Webinar I taught five years ago. A lot has changed since then, particularly the threat level and the new technology.

At least once a week (and sometimes much more often) someone asks me, "Where can I safely hide small, valuable items?" I have spent many hours on the telephone and in person explaining the principles and going into great detail on specifics. I also spend time on creative ways to secure valuables that the bad guys wouldn't think of.

Recently I had an epiphany: Why should I spend time explaining the same things over and over when I can do so once on a Webinar where people can attend and ask questions? And, of course, the recording would be available for future viewers. I decided to spend the considerable time required to research and present this information in a comprehensive way, and save a lot of time in the future.

What are my qualifications to teach this subject? Well, I'm not a locksmith or a safe installer, but I have hired many of these professionals and overseen many installations. And I always asked lots of questions (because that is how I learn)! I also have a background in law enforcement, and have seen my share of burglaries - both in homes that were well-protected and those that were not. Finally, most of the advice I share was gleaned from people much smarter than I in these areas: Locksmiths, security experts, and law enforcement personnel.
