When browsing the internet today I noticed a newer trend in diversion safes lately. Novelty lighters with secret compartments have the ability to blend in rather normally with most settings. The compartment however is rather small since it is inside of a lighter, however the lighter can be used to store several pieces of paper currency. If you are interested in them yourself you can find tutorials of how to make the secret compartment lighters or you can head over to Amazon or Ebay and chances are they will have some listed.
I was browsing around for some furniture with some secret compartments and I came across a living room type coffee table that I figured some of you might be interested in seeing. The top of the table slides to one side to reveal a compartment with quite a bit of space. I’m sure just by looking at it some of you more crafty readers would be able to make something like this on your own.
This one in the picture below is available at greatstuff.com, but if you ask me the $699 price tag is a bit insane.
So I had a visitor whom I think was just trying to be clever ask me if I thought those plastic Easter Eggs that split into two sections would make good cheap diversion safes, and to that I must say no. Think for a moment what the first thing is you do when you see one of those, generally you pick it up and shake it, if there is any noise you’re probably going to open it up to see what is inside.
Also keep in mind that you’ll want your diversion safes to blend in to not seem out of place with the other objects around it or else it will draw interest to anyone who may see it.
This post will start off rather short but I may edit it in the future as I think of other ideas or as people suggest them to me. If you have a suggestion feel free to leave a comment and you may get yours added to the list, or a future list.
Do not hide anything in your underwear or sock drawer. This is always a classic bad hiding spot that people think others will not go through, but indeed is a first spot to look for most burglars.
Do not leave extra sets of keys hanging on key hooks. Most people use these for convince, but if someone were to break into your home they’d have very easy access to those extra keys that you put all in one place for them to take. They could even take a set of keys possibly without you even knowing and come back at a later date to use them.
Do not leave an extra house key under your doormat. Another obvious one but people still do it.
Do not use garage keypad codes that are birthdays of anyone living in the home. Using a code based off of a birthday is far too easy to guess.
I received an email earlier this week asking if I knew of any type of hidden vaporizer, and it just so happens I own one that I am in love with. I bought a Magic Flight Launch Box about 2 months ago online, I now use it for Eucalyptus which helps my breathing. You can Google what other legal herbs are out there that you can vaporize that have some medicinal effects.
Anyways I figure I’ll tell you a little bit about the Launch Box, first of all it’s tiny. It’s only a few inches in size, which means it will probably be able to fit in any diversion safe you may already own. In the picture below that metal looking object is a AA battery, yes it is cordless and completely portable. Another thing that I like so much about this one is you don’t have to wait for a heating element to heat up like you do with most all other vaporizers, this one is ready to go in seconds. The real thing that I couldn’t believe though was the price on it, it was under $100 which it’s hard to find a real quality vaporizer under a hundred dollars, the lifetime replacement warranty doesn’t hurt either.
Anyways if you wanna see more pictures or are interested in one yourself you can check out VapeStarVaporizers.com, that’s where I got mine.
I’m sure some of you have seen those wall outlet safes, they are one of the oldest type of diversion safe. They are basically what look to be a normal wall outlet that you’d plug in whatever device to. The difference is these outlets are not hooked up to your homes electricity and instead fold out to reveal a hidden compartment. The problem with most of these outlets safes is in the most popular models the plugs are upside down and don’t look like most other wall outlets you’d already have in your home.
With this video it teaches you how you can make your own wall outlet. With doing this project yourself you can match the exact type of outlet you already have, which is good since it will make your wall outlet stash spot harder to find.
Here is another video for you guys. This piece of furniture is rather amazing, it has several drawers that pull out to reveal other hidden drawers while still looking normal from the outside. It appears to be a piece of antique furniture with hidden compartments. If anyone else has seen any other furniture with secret compartments feel free to leave a comment so I can check it out.
When traveling with prescription drugs and staying in hotels a medicine bottle can be the prime target of theft by the cleaning staff. If you are staying in a hotel that doesn’t have a safe in each room than I’d suggest you travel with a diversion safe to hide your drugs from any hotel staff that might be in your room when you’re not. Now keep in mind since you are traveling a lot of the normal diversion safes such as a stash can made out of a cleaning supply can will obviously be out of place.
I’d personally use a diversion safe such as this one that looks like a normal water bottle. Not only does it fit in with the things you’d have on vacation but most all people wouldn’t think that anything was hidden in a water bottle that they can see water in. As always keep your drugs away from children.
I have not came across many diversion safes or hiding spots that I felt were designed for what someone who wanted to hide a gun would want to use. There doesn’t seem to be many manufactures of furniture that has compartments to hide a handgun at home but this guy seems to have it figured out. I would highly suggest that people use common sense with anything like this, since it is only a switch that unlocks the compartment anyone who knows the switch is there can access your gun. If you had a bit of woodworking ability this video might give you your own ideas on how to build a secret gun safe yourself. Remember that common sense everyone.
They are not cheap at $365 but if you like them here is the link to their site. CustomChess.com
Found another video from the same people who made the double stage lock boxes that I showed earlier. This video has some models where the 2nd stage needs kinetic energy and the magnet to open. That added little step could mean the difference between someone figuring out how to get inside it and them not. They are a bit overpriced though at nearly $100 each.
