Where to hide your ill gotten gains?

Hiding money is easy, spending it is the hard bit.

You want to be splitting it up in 3 pieces. Regardless of what happens. You will definitely get some of it.

First thing would be to protect all packages from elements. Don't store it on the property you own, or a spouse. You could get away with a brother etc if there is no direct link to him in terms the business.

People intuitively search downwards so hiding things vertically high is a wonderful starting position for one package. You can easily climb a mountain or a tree and hide it there. The energy required to search a place like that is enormous. We tend to gravitate away from it due to energy expenditure. People will look longer if comfortable, so put it somewhere very uncomfortable to go. Something stinky, rocky, high up.

Another good spot is inside drywalls. You can remove a radiator, crack open the dry wall, hide inside (stick it with glue upwards of the hole). Fix wall and attach radiator again. Any possible discoloration or texture change of the wall will be hidden by the radiator.

If you have access to a sewerage pipe outside, its pretty easy to install a grate in one, and keep the package inside there. You can send the package into the line from a few meters away from the grate location. That way, any work details are well away from the package. You'd obviously NOT want to be using that sewerage line regularly. So you might have to tell whoever is on the property about it. Though it could be an unused ensuite.

A lot of houses have plastic containers for hot water up stairs in the attic. VERY easy to put a false floor in one of those containers with the package underneath. Its very hard to see a false floor in a tub of water, especially since any vibration cause water movement. You could easily put a small pump in just to constantly 'recirculate' the water. They'd have no chance to see it with the bubbles etc. If they put their hand in, you'd just feel the end of the a container. Refraction would stop them from considering otherwise.

Far away from your home is the place you want to store at least one. In this place, you want to be getting there and back using public transport (train and bus) for the initial leg of the journey. Then going for a long hike. If you have a fold up bike, you'd make crazy distances with almost no paper trail.

I think you may have given this far too much thought?

........ as have I.

A cut down section of 4 inch wavin sewer pipe with a end stop at either end provides waterproof storage you could burry. Then you can make a treasure map :-)

But no one is going to hide stacks of €10 notes are they? Fifties seem to be the ideal 5k would be a stack around 1cm thick. With tens that would be 5cm.

One hundreds are always suspect in that they draw attention when used. Some places won't even accept them.

Think you are right there. My maths is that a 30cm length of 100mm wavin pipe would hold around 100k in 50's.

Reminds me of this mad story:
