Sometimes you just don't need a giant safe to hide your belongings in, which is why Instructables user The King of Random put together a guide to hiding you smaller stuff inside a wall outlet.P

We've mentioned a hidden wall safe before, but The King of Random goes into a lot more detail with various different builds. The guide walks you through cutting into a brand new outlet, an old one, and even setting it up with cable outlet. If you're looking to hide away your stuff, your wall outlet's a good place to start. Find all the guides over on Instructables. P

If I was looking around a place for secret stashes, blank wall plates would be a good place to start. The same stud finder he used to place the box also works great for determining if there is something dense behind a wall plate. If they go so far as to put an actual (non-functioning) outlet in there, one of those non-contact voltage testers will discover it, and is a lot easier than carrying around a lamp.

What I'd like to see is a wall safe disguised to look like an outlet that will open when key "plugs" are inserted into the sockets. One more thing: The outlets are wired and fully functional. Try to pick that lock and *POW!*2 minutes ago
