Hiding your cash / valuables / cards etc

[Carnebwen]

Pretty useful. I don't think I have any valuables worth knicking that Id need to hide in such a way.

Probably something larger scale with back up food supplies or weapons hidden in a wall and plastered over until you needed them. You see it in films occasionally and there was that instance a few years ago where a new home owner found half a dozen shotguns wrapped up in news paper behind a crap plaster job on the wall behind the TV. The news papers the guns were rapped in mentioned the hungerford shooting or similar. (so it is assumed the old homeowner "lost all the guns in a boating accident" before any new laws made them illegal and then forgot they had them/died.)
