There, lodged in the toe - my ring.Ĭave-dwelling New Yorkers who survive without front lawns, back yards, gardens or even window boxes - their only pile of dirt being what they know - must secrete their life savings inside the apartment. Only recently did I clean out a closet, and just before pitching a pair of shoes, I tried them on again to see if maybe I actually wanted to keep them. Two hours later, having repaired whatever was broken, these guys left. But not in a predetermined, orderly manner. On automatic pilot, I quickly dropped a ring from sight. Anxious hiding means, say, for instance, strange workmen enter your house when valuables are around. There is intelligent hiding and anxious hiding. It works, but should you be in, maybe, Bergdorf’s, buying something, be aware this produces a difficulty if you have to make change. As in, for instance, anchoring one’s boodle onto one’s very own bustle - such as a bag diaper- pinned to the inside of pantyhose. ![]() The current economy with financial institutions going to the mat and financial managers going to the can has triggered a return to days of yore. One homemade chicken pot pie cost her $11,000. Unfortunately, she had a houseguest who was. I have a friend who stuck a pile of green way in the back of her oven. I thought: “Stupid, if I can read your ad, so can a thief!” However, since it’s obvious you can’t sell stuff if nobody knows it exists, this firm actually advertises these smart gadgets. Like, for instance, a fake can of hair spray. And what’s sold at Victoria’s Secret doesn’t even hold coins.Ĭomes now a firm that makes bogus toiletries. In these new days, females - think Britney Spears - don’t always bother with panties, let alone bras. So unless new owners had a gardener, a dowser or a dog trained to smell dollars with Benjamin Franklin on them, the stuff is still there. In World War II, those who fled expecting they’d return dug up their yards and buried their savings. ![]() Grandma kept her worldly worth pinned to her bra. Obviously ahead of her time, she didn’t trust banks. My grandmother came from the old country. Immigrants sailing to the New World at the turn of the century converted bulky wads to small stones which were sewn into a hem. Stashing cash in unorthodox ways, I understand. Still, the way we’re going nowadays, it’s longer odds than if you stick it in a corporation or lay it on some heavy-duty money managers. Tossing bedding stuffed with a million bucks cash is a million-to-one shot. THIS week’s New York Post reported a lady mistakenly dumped a mattress that hid whatever savings she had in the world.
