Move Your Jewelry
The ex-burglar who gave this tip alluded to something critical – they almost always go for your closet. As such, it is safest to avoid putting jewelry there. He further noted, it is one of the first places they look. Try to think outside the box.
Try hiding jewelry in places like underneath the bathroom sink in an unsuspecting box of what appears to be something else is a good pointer. You can also put jewelry in the kitchen in places like a cookie jar. No one would think to look there unless they get hungry during the break-in, which is a possibility, although it is quite the sneaky place to hide valuables.
