I put my extra money on the top of my cupboards. Get a stool and check there, you will not get anything because I do not have extra money. 🤣

I was about to list my (grandma's) hiding places - none of which are in your video - then thought... Why would I give potential "Thieves in Training watching this video" a whole new list of where to look.... > I think not. 😆🤣

THE SYSTEM PROTECTS BURGLARS IN THIS COUNTRY. DO IT IN SSUDI ARABIA AND YOU LOSE YOUR HANDS. NOW THATS A SYSTEM THAT PROTECTS THE PEOPLE.

Never leave a spare key in a flower pot. It's done so often, burglars just know to look there.

I keep my money in other people's wallets. At the spring time, of every year, I hide a bunch of money with the IRS, so it will disappear!

The only time my parents’ house was robbed, the thieves entered through my bedroom window. Then they left out the back door as the family came home from church on Christmas Eve through the front door. Scary. I think I was 13.<br><br>Ain’t no money above my kitchen cabinets - but the backgammon set is there. Hard to play by yourself; I cheat on both sides of the board.
