How to Hide Valuables in a Stuffed Animal

It can be difficult to find a good place to store valuables in your home when you are leaving for a short trip or an extended vacation. Dresser drawers, closets and cabinets are the first places a thief is likely to look for your valuables. When storing your valuables for safekeeping, choose uncommon places, such as inside a child's toy. A stuffed animal, such as a teddy bear, makes the perfect place to hide small precious items. It's easy to transform a simple stuffed teddy bear into a safe.
