Diversion safes (also known as secret or hidden safes) are small-scale safes masked as ordinary household items. These safes offer an effective way to protect your treasured belongings from thieves while you are traveling away from home. These “common household items” are ones that would generally be found in your home out in plain sight. Burglars are not apt to pay any attention to them and will instead look for the most likely hiding places for your valuables. Because they only spend a few minutes inside a house, they will not have time to examine everything if they want to minimize the possibility of being caught in the act. Thieves are very good in looking for usual hiding places for valuables and they will go to these places immediately once they get inside your home.

Secret safes allow you to hide your valuable items like jewelry, documents and money right there in plain view. These “secret hiding places” could be inside any household item such as a flower pot, a jar of soup mix, a book, an electrical wall outlet, a “stone”, a container of tire sealant, a jar of peanut butter and various can goods. While they seem to be ordinary items that are often found in a home, they have secret compartments inside.

An example of an effective diversion safe is the one that appears to be an ordinary novel but in reality, part of it has been removed to provide a secret space for hiding things inside. It looks like a book because it was made from an actual book and this makes it very hard, if not impossible, to tell it apart from the other books kept in your library. Moreover, there is no possibility for thieves to already know this book is a safe because various book titles are used.

Another effective model of diversion safes is a jar of dried soup mix because this safe can be placed inside your kitchen cupboard with other food items. Thieves would never imagine that there are valuables hidden inside that jar safe. However if they did suspect they will not have the time to check your entire kitchen in the hope of finding your valuables.

For citizens who need to have a spare key hidden somewhere outside their homes, stone diversion safes offer an effective way to secure a house key in your garden. They are virtually undetectable from the other rocks commonly found in your yard. With this stone diversion safe, you and your family will no longer have to worry about forgetting the key and being locked out of your home.

Crime experts believe that these hidden safes are very effective in keeping your valuables safe even after a crook has managed to get inside your home. Another advantage is they cost much less compared to the prices of standard safes that are often targeted by criminals. These hidden safes can protect your documents, jewelry, account numbers, credit cards, passports, cash and the like from crooks.
