When a criminal breaks into your home they will only spend a few minutes inside while they look for the most valuable items to steal. They will usually choose smaller items that they can easily carry right out your front door such as jewelry, watches and cash. Burglars know the best places in the house to look, and can be on their way with your most treasured possessions in a very short time.

A great solution is what is known as a diversion safe. Diversion safes are home security products that are designed to look like every day, ordinary household items. These safes appear to be objects that are commonly found in any home such as books, candles or canned items, but they are actually hollowed out containers that you can hide valuables in to keep them secure from thieves.

There are a wide variety of these safes that can be placed anywhere in your house. They look so much like the real thing that a criminal will be very unlikely to even notice them even when they are hidden right out in the open. For example, you can store cash in your bedroom inside a book safe, or candle safe. Your valuable jewelry can be kept in the bathroom disguised in a safe that appears to be a can of hair spray, shaving cream or foot powder. Hide items in your garage disguised as oil can, degreaser or sealant.
