16. Inside a Closet Behind Hanging Clothes
Sometimes, the simplest option is the best. A safe tucked into the back wall of a closet, hidden behind a full row of jackets or dresses, is remarkably effective. Burglars typically go for drawers and boxes before pushing through clothing. You can build a recessed safe directly into the wall or place a freestanding safe behind a tall pile of hanging clothes. Use dark or oversized items to conceal it completely. For extra stealth, hang a secondary curtain or install a sliding wardrobe door to isolate the area even more.
