The Best Spot to Hide Valuables May Be Your Kid's Room (and Other Tips from Burglars) [Home Security]

The Best Spot to Hide Valuables May Be Your Kid's Room (and Other Tips from Burglars)If you want tips on how keep your valuables safe, who better to ask than burglars themselves. Reader's Digest rounded up advice from convicted burglars as well as criminology experts. One secret you might not know: burglars rarely enter children's rooms.

Given this knowledge, you might consider bolting down that safe in your kid's closet. This isn't a guarantee, of course, that burglars with time on their hands won't go digging in that room of the house, so maybe consider constructing secret hiding places within your kid's room.

The Reader's Digest (annoying) slideshow includes other ways to increase your home's security. Most of these you probably already know about, such as making sure a neighbor or friend removes fliers tucked in your door when you're on vacation, but you might learn something new, like checking the bathroom window latch after you let a service worker use your bathroom.
