Diversion Safes

Buy a Diversion Safe BEFORE Your Valuables are Stolen

Buy a Diversion Safe BEFORE your valuables are stolen …. My mother and I met for lunch the other day and one of the first things she said to me was, “My friend needed some of your products, but now it’s too late.” I asked her what she meant and she proceeded to tell me about how her friend’s grandson stole a large sum of money from her and her husband. I’ll leave out everyone’s name, since this is a true story. She was referring to the diversion safes that I offer for sale on my website, Safe & Sound Security Products.

Anyway, just recently, a very nice family was victimized by one of their own family members. This young man is the son of a police detective and was raised in a good family. They are church-going people who spend a lot of time with family members. For whatever reason, however, this young man started to use drugs and eventually became a heroin addict. No matter what they tried to do to help him, he continued to use drugs. And now he has turned to crime to support his addiction. The last thing this family wanted to think about was the possibility that he would steal from his own family. But it happened. His grandmother, who is my mother’s best friend, told my mother that he stole over $600 from her and about another $50 from his grandfather. They don’t own any safes, diversion safes or otherwise.

These people, like so many of us, didn’t think they needed to safeguard against their own family members and left this money where it was too easy to find. Knowing I sell diversion safes on my website, my mother thought that if her friends had hidden their money inside these items, their grandson would never have thought to look for money in them.

Diversion safes look like ordinary household items: brand name soda cans like Dr. Pepper and 7-Up, books, Miller Beer, household cleaners such as Ajax, shaving cream cans, automotive products, canned dog food, peanut butter, Pringles potato chips, an electrical wall socket, and even a functional flower pot. You simply hide your money or valuables inside, and store the safe with other like items.

For example, put the soda and beer cans inside your refrigerator. . . you are hiding your valuables in plain sight! With the flower pot safe, you can use it as an ordinary planter for your houseplants or seasonal flowers. Meanwhile, your valuables are tucked safely inside. Burglars and thieves are in a hurry to get in, steal, and get out. They won’t have time to look through all of your “ordinary” food and household items to search for money and valuables.

Protect your money and valuables BEFORE someone tries to steal from you. Buy a DIVERSION SAFE. They work! To see the wide variety of diversion safes available from Safe & Sound Security Products, click any of the above photos or links, or just click HERE.


Overlooking the Obvious: Diversion Safes

It’s often the obvious that is overlooked. At the end of this story about the Flower Pot Diversion Safe, you’ll find a bonus FREE offer good for a limited time.

Mike snickered. Sometimes his sister, Beth, had the craziest ideas. Mike was at Beth’s home helping her to put her affairs back into order after her husband’s death. Today, he was photographing her valuables for insurance purposes. Beth had taken out a new policy and she wanted to keep her own records. After Mike was finished with the pictures and preparing to head home, Beth asked him to wait; she had two more valuable items for Mike to photograph. She then pulled her wedding and engagement ring from inside the flower pot that held her Easter Lilies — the same pot that held Poinsettias last December. Mike was humored and asked her about her choice of hiding places.

Beth generally kept the flower pot sitting on the kitchen counter or the kitchen table when it contained flowers, and on the top shelf in her pantry next to other empty pots when it didn’t. Mike told her that he thought the flower pot safe was an odd place for her to keep her most beloved possessions. But, there they sat, right out in the open.

Beth explained that the flower pot safe was, in fact, the safest place for her treasures. So safe, that her rings had recently eluded a burglar and fooled a dishonest cousin. The burglar had found her silverware, a small portable DVD player, and MP3 player. And her cousin recently took a fair amount of cash out of Beth’s wall safe. The rings were not touched. She asked Mike, “Where would a burglar or a thief look first?” After thinking about it for a moment, Mike had to admit that if he were a burglar, he wouldn’t even think to look for valuables in a flower pot. He was pretty certain that a burglar would go through drawers and closets, or break into any obvious safe he or she came across.

As Mike drove home, he thought about the various reasons a flower pot safe, or any diversion safe, would be useful. He lived in a low crime area, but he had a lot of company and so did his three teenage boys. You’d like to believe that you can trust everyone, but the reality is that you simply can’t.

Once he arrived home, Mike ordered two flower pot safes of his own.
