Secret Stash

One of the coolest things I ever learned from my babysitter growing up was how to hide my "secret things".  Okay, I was 10 years old - get your head out of the gutter.  My secret things included my rock collection and all of my money I was saving up (I made it up to $23 one time!).  She told me to grab the thickest book I could find (a dictionary for example) and carve out the middle pages so it would create a secret box.  Then I would place the dictionary back on my book shelf and my parents (especially my brother) had no idea.  I ended up taking my "dictionary" to college where it proved much more useful haha.  I came across this video which showcases a designer's efforts of creating secret stashes.  His efforts are a little more fancy than my dictionary.  Did you have a secret stash?  My brother used to keep a chest locked up in his room.  I used to spend hours sitting on it trying to figure out how to open it.  I never figured it out...
