Default To Those Concerned About Theft....

For those who are concerned about theft of money and small valuables, I suggest 'Can Safes'. http://www.riverdaleorganics.com/cansafes.html
Various cans of deodorant, shaving cream, cleaning supplies, food, etc, that have an inner chamber accessed by unscrewing the bottom. Some have small containers at the top that will spray deodorant or whatever. The 'hide in plain sight' concept.

Customs is aware of these, don't use them to bring back any no-no's.

We had a maid who stole toothpaste and shaving cream. (but the containers were still there, so I guess Can Safe would work)
