What do you think ?
If you really want to hide something just give it to a toddler to play with, you will never see it again
Lololol Yes. ! . And yes some of these would NOT be toddler proof.
Never a truer word said in jest...

These are all good ideas. But now they are out there, in the internet for everyone, including the thieves to see
My thoughts exactly. Well, they might be not good to hide from thieves anymore, but you can still use them to hide stuff from... Your siblings, for example, or your kids.
The chances of a thief seeing this and then randomly choosing a house that had them is nil.
What Crazy Dog Lady said plus the fact that usually they don't have all the time in the world to wander around the home checking all this stuff. Most thieves want to get out as fast as possible with small, expensive items.
It would take too long for them to figure it out, even with the easy ones. They don't know which one(s) you have. "Oh, a bookcase, let's see if there is a room behind it or maybe the window sill is actually a drawer"...yeah no, they aren't going to do this.
How long will a burglar stay in house? 10 minutes? 20 minutes? Even 30 minutes would be short for some of those (like the drawer under window). Some of them are little bit too easy, but sometimes it is enough.
So you've essentially told potential burglars where they should look for things to steal. Good work
