You've got 5mins hide 10k in 100 dollar bills in your home. If searchers can't find it after 2 hours searching you can keep it. Where do you hide it? (lazysoci.al)

Ummmm, do people not already have hidden storage?

Like, places purpose built to be very hard to locate, isolated from damage, and big enough to hold emergency supplies like cash and certain useful objects if the house is invaded like that.

I kinda assumed with lemmy being what it is, it would be a fairly common practice since they aren't that hard to install.

An example might be a small section under a house with a false wall. Or maybe a section of insulation in an attic that's in an out of the way corner and can be cover for a small safe. Stuff like that.

Am I really that far off from the crowd here?

    This wouldn’t even require hidden storage. A stack of 100 $100 bills would only be about 16cm X 6.5 cm x 1.1 cm and weigh about 100 grams. That’s smaller than a VHS tape.

    Not about the size, it's about the capabilities of the search. Most hundreds have traces of drugs on them. One drug dog, if they aren't sealed well, and the search is over.

    Besides, I'm just amazed that the comment section wasn't full of people saying they'd put it in their secure stash. My main one isn't scent secure, but that's beside the point. I have multiple and I'm genuinely surprised that my fellow lemmings aren't similarly equipped what with the degree of privacy and security conscious users here.

    A drug dog is not going to trigger money because of trace amounts of narcotics.

    A stash in or around your residence is not very secure by the very nature of proximal association. If you’re going to get this serious about it then a proper secure stash would be accessible but not readily associated with you and not somewhere you go often.

    I think it depends a lot on who people distrust. I don't particularly like US based big tech, but why would I make safe boxes from the people in my small city in my small country? The government, banks and insurance companies works fairly well here.
