In a box of paperclips.
Give it to my ADHD wife and tell her its important. it will never be seen again.
Not saying. Any half-decent paperclip detective will read this thread.
my ass hole, if he finds it… i still win 😏
My house was built in the early 1900s and was used to secretly store and distribute liquor to the town and surrounding areas during prohibition… that money is as good as mine.
What you dont know is that the detective is from your home town, is 118 years old and was drunk as a skunk during those years.
Hobbling centurian drunk detective is gonna getcha.
118 years old? Well, in that case, all I have to do it put the paperclip upstairs. Without one of those stair climber chair lifts, I doubt he’d even be able to get up there to look for it.
Turn off breaker (without clock attached), unscrew a wall plate for an outlet, unbend and drop paperclip in wall, below outlet, by sliding it between the electric box and the drywall, put wall plate back, turn breaker back on, put the kettle on for a tea.
This is the best answer. Getting it in a wall void space should win.
Literally hiding it IN your house…
Step 1: Unplug a network cable from my switch in the basement.
Step 2: Run up to the loft and open the chimney access hatch.
Step 3: Figure out which cable i unplugged, and pull it up 3-4 meters.
Step 4: Straighten out the paperclip and stick it inside the insulation of the cable.
Step 5: Drop the cable back down into the chimney and reconnect it.Yes, I use my otherwise unused chimneys for cable runs.

Reminds of a great old movie; “A Man, A Woman, and A Bank.” No spoiler, because they explain the plot in the first five minutes of the movie.
Two engineers see that a giant bank has decided to build their brand new headquarters downtown. They plan to sneak in and steal the plans for the security system before it’s installed. It’s much easier to break into a construction site than a completed bank.
I am handing it to my toddler and saying “this is important, don’t lose it”.
Detective has a zero percent chance of ever finding it.
When you greet the detective:
- Slip it into the detective’s pocket
- Tape/glue it onto the detective’s back
Filming the new series of Taskmaster already?
Tape it to the bottom of a door
I’m just giving it to the detective and losing the money. The detective would do more than $100k damage to my house looking. Checking behind the drywall, under the carpet, tearing open my mattresses, opening my appliances, etc.
Cheaper to save the repair bill.
Now if they pay to fix everything, I use a hammer to open holes in every wall as a misdirection and hide it in the flooring or framing.
My magical “You’ll never find what you’re looking for” box of cables. The moment I’ve unpacked and plugged in my newly ordered one, the one I knew I had spawns back in and I’ll inevitably find it and curse.
Its going up my ass.
It’s* going
Put it wherever TF the socks go that disappear after doing laundry. You’ll never see it again.
