Discreet prepping: Top 6 ingenious diversion safes to hide your valuables in plain sight
When prepping for emergencies, you might want to hide money or other small valuables in convenient hiding places like diversion safes.
Diversion safes look like ordinary household items, like canned food or a flower pot, but with hidden compartments for storing small valuables discreetly. If you hide your diversion safe in an ideal location, it can be almost impossible to find, unless a burglar already knows that you are hiding one somewhere in your house.
Here are some of the
best diversion safes for your emergency funds or survival caches. (h/t to

Cleaning product stash can
A burglar won't usually rummage under the kitchen sink to look for valuables to steal.
When buying a cleaning product stash can, make sure it matches a cleaning product that you already use at home so it will be harder to find. Keep in mind that most products will be the same size and the weight as half-used container of the original cleaning product.
A cleaning product stash can is easy to open and close. With its compact size, it's also easy to grab if you are in a hurry to leave the house during an emergency.
Flower pot fire safe
If you need an indoor or outdoor solution, try a flower pot fire safe. Some products have a keyed lock under the planter drop-in to access the safe, which can help deter curious kids.
Use lag bolts to secure the plant and make it harder to pick up. To make the pot convincing, place your own plant in it. (Related:

Outlet wall safe
The average house has many outlets, and nobody is going to consider them as a potential hiding spot.
This is one of the few diversion safes that require installation to work. You will need to make a hole in your wall where an outlet usually goes.
This type of wall safe is ideal if you need to hide very small valuables at home, such as expensive jewelry. To maintain the illusion, plug an appliance you rarely use or a nightlight in the outlet.
Spam can safe
Keep Spam can safes in your survival stockpile if you want to hide several small valuables without arousing suspicion.
This diversion safe should fit in fine in any non-vegetarian pantry. Use it to hide money, keys, or other valuables.
Fake marker diversion safe
The fake marker diversion safe is one of the smallest diversion safes available and it can only fit a folded bill or another small item inside. It is usually the same size as a normal marker, with a small working head that screws on.
Unlike the other diversions safes in this list, you can carry the fake marker around with you if you prefer to keep it on your person.
Canned food stash safe
If you have room, your pantry is one of the
best places to have a safe. And if you are installing a larger security safe, pantry and laundry rooms are preferred over bedrooms and closets because thieves will search these areas first.
But if you don't have enough room for a full safe, you probably have enough room for a can or two.
Since these food cans are rather large, you can store more money and other valuables in them, especially if you hide two or three cans among the other items in your pantry.
Pick the type of can that wouldn’t look out of place in your pantry. Keep the fake canned meat next to real canned meats and the fake canned veggies near the real canned veggies.
