    Like I’d give away the best hiding spots. Nice try gestapo, you ain’t gonna catch me with anything.

    Behind the laundry machine, where it can join the socks in the Lost Sock Dimension.

    In the innards of my antique sewing machine, which is currently hanging upside down under its sewing table. The table is covered in stuff.

    Behind the drawers of my locked filling cabinet.

    I’d separate it into individual bills and hide in half-assed places. Searchers would end up scrambling and getting sloppy, rushing to find bills before anybody else. Like an Easter egg hunt, their greed would be their undoing, because I can tell you from experience that 2hr is not enough time to find 100 of anything in a madhouse, even $100 bills.

    But also money in my country are coated plastic so perhaps I could hide a portion of it in the shower trap, which is easy to quickly hide (but gross). The easily found Easter Cash would discourage anybody slowing down enough to be thorough. Consider the mind games an investment.

    Unbolt the toilets and lift them. There’s spaces in the base you could probably stuff more than 100 bills in each toilet. Bolt them back down again.

    If it’s the police I’d lay it all out on the table. They’ll somehow only find 5k after their search and because of semantics I’ll get to keep the 10k.

      Yeah, if the searchers are only allowed to “look”, but not disassemble anything, the challenge is easy, as long as bills aren’t visible. If the searchers are allowed to tear my home apart, I’m handing over the 10k as soon as they arrive, and wishing them good day.

        Even then, I’m not sure 10k is enough for me to allow randoms in my house.

        I’d rather not lose random items to sticky fingers.

    Put a vest on one of my cats and put it in one of the pockets. Lil buggers disappear into the mirror dimension when strangers come around.

    Give it to my youngest kid. She’ll put it somewhere where nobody can find it. Unfortunately this would also mean we can’t find it either.

    That depends on whether I can separate the bills and keep the ones they don’t find, or if it’s an all or nothing system. There’s a loose floorboard in one room, so if it’s all or nothing, I’d lift that and chuck the package as far as possible under there, replace the board, then mess up multiple other places in the house.

    If they can be separated, there are 100 notes, and they’re individually going in every gap, crevase and hole I can find. Between the floor boards, under carpeting, in the gaps in the bottom of the couch, I have a stapler, so pop the bases loose on some chairs, then restaple them shut, tape them under floor level cupboards. I’d have to move fast, but their unlikely to find everything, so I’d be finding random $100 notes for ages afterwards, because there no way I’d remember everywhere I put them.

      I like this idea, there’s no way they’ll find them all. They’ll find some and you’ll still have a tidy profit

    Some stupid ideas:

    • Roll the bills and stuff them into a condom. Shove it up my ass. It might feel uncomfortable for the next couple of hours, and a few more hours after that, but hey, 10k USD, right?

    • I have a bunk bed that is made out of hollow metal tubes. Roll the bills, insert into a plastic bag and drop it into one of the vertical tubes holding the bed up. It should fall all the way down, with no way to see it unless you already know it has fallen inside it.

    • Put the bills (flat) inside a plastic ziploc bag and shove it inside my PC. I’ll insert it between my SSD, or underneath the motherboard.

    Of those ideas, I quite like the first two. Easiest to do is the second one, so that’s probably what I’d do.

      I think you are underestimating how thick the roll would be, unless you trained your ass very hard you won’t be able to shove it there. Second one sounds good!

        I was actually thinking “It’s just 100 × $100 bills, how thick can it be?” until I did the calculations just now. I found the value of 0.0043 in for the thickness of a 100 USD bill somewhere online and did the calculations.

        (10 000 USD) × (1 bill / 100 USD) × (0.0043 in / 1 bill) 
        = 0.430 in
        ≈ 1.0922 cm
        

        I greatly underestimated the thickness of a stack of 100 USD bills. At just over a centimeter thick, I doubt I can even roll using the short side (for a smaller circumference).

    Inside a box of wet wipes. Take out half the wipes, put the money (inside a baggie) in the tub, put some of the remaining wipes on top, and chuck it the storage bin under the bathroom sink with the extra shower liners and that value-sized jug of hand soap. It’s such a mundane place that most people wouldn’t think to look there. And the remaining wet wipes could go in a baggie in your pocket, so there’s no evidence the wipes were tampered with.
