This ordinary looking salt shaker is actually a hidden safe that can hide your small valuables. Burglars spend as little time as possible in your home so that they can minimize their chances of getting caught. When a burglar is inside your home searching for all your valuables, you can be sure they are not going to take some salt as a prized possession.
This salt shaker hidden safe is made from an actual salt shaker and even has salt that you can see through the transparent glass. The salt does not actually come out though. The top of this hidden safe unscrews revealing the secret compartment where you can put valuables or other items that you wish to hide. The salt shaker safe's hidden compartment is an
excellent hiding spot that no one would think is anything other than a regular salt shaker."Three suggested uses for the “salt shaker hidden safe.”
1. It is the perfect gift for a friend “who has everything.” Be sure to attach an information tag to the handle, so it’s not just put away on a shelf without first being opened. Include some money inside the salt shaker hidden safe. Even $30 will look good if it’s in 15 new, crisp $2.00 bills. At the other end of the spectrum, you might include a dozen 500-euro bills. Or uncut diamonds …
2. Use it to keep emergency cash hidden from burglars (or perhaps your in-laws). As shown in the picture, $2,000 in $100 bills fits easily into the salt shaker hidden safe.
3. When away on a trip, I assume you do leave a key to your house or apartment with a trusted friend. What if the friend calls you to report some problem with the water or heating, or there was a break in and a new door or window is now urgently needed? Tell your friend to look on the top right shelf of the kitchen cupboard, where you’ve “salted away” some cash for just such an emergency. That can be used to pay for the repairs.

That is pretty awesome invention. We had someone break into a home in the city when we were away, lucky for both of us we had hidden our stash in very un-obvious places (stuck in a laundry basket). I don't know why thieves target poor people, they didn't even take my clothes! Whoever it was fell on the stairs, we knew this because we had some tubes of caulk on the stairs, and it was at the bottom of the stairs with the end blown out..and there was a small dent in the plaster at the bottom of the stairs too. I guess it was a type of accidental boobytrap.
ReplyDeleteI have used this type of hiding before. If you put the money or object in a small plastic vial first....the salt will still come out. To further the effect, you can make some salt stick in a layer to the inside bottom of the shaker by mixing with a little Elmer's white glue. When dried, that will keep the vial from coming into contact with the bottom and prevent it from being seen if it were tipped over. Also, the glue is non-toxic.
