but even if you couldn't trust your bank, $150,000 in shoeboxes? Really? That's not safe. Coffee tins, freezer, mattress, that loose brick in the garage... you've got to diversify.

A friend of mine told the story of his grandfather hording cash. Seems his grandpa was the mayor and, well, you get the idea. The cash was kept in a cabinet in the kitchen.
One day grandma comes home to find him and grandpa playing monopoly with real money. She was not amused.

We probably have about $150,000 in shoeboxes in my apartment. Unfortunately, they're in the form of my wife's shoes.

He could have used the money to buy a Macbook Pro. If you max out the specs they come out pretty close to $150k.

The amount of thought you have put into that is a little unnerving.
Well, he probably didn't use these techniques to hide money, but merely to hide pron for his mom.
