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.
Gonna check this movie out, thanks :)
I’m amazed no one else has ever used that idea in a movie. Emjoy
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.
How honest is this detective? Perhaps one can simply offer them 50k of the resulting prize money to not look too hard.
OP asking how to hide drugs from the police.
The detective… Is he like a Clouseau or a Columbo type? If the former, I could leave it in plain sight and still get the $100k but if it’s the latter, I might as well confess the moment he walks in the door because there’s nowhere I could hide it he wouldn’t sniff it out and make me incredibly uncomfortable as he toys with me for hours before going in for the kill.
Or I could just toss it into a drawer with a million other paperclips and he’d never know which one is the one he’s looking for.
Straighten it and snip it into 4 brad nails. Tap them into your molding at random places in the house. Preferably places with unpainted brads in it, such as stained wood molding.
Filming the new series of Taskmaster already?
They did this one with the 3 aubergines 🍆🍆🍆
Nice try, detective
Straighten it out and slip it in alongside my bra underwire. Can’t be any more stabby than it already is so hey
Tape it to the bottom of a door
Not saying. Any half-decent paperclip detective will read this thread.
In a box of similar looking paperclips
shove it in my ass
…allllllllllllll the way up
That is exactly what my first thought was lol
It might be easier to fold it into a pill sized ball and swallow it… and it might not be as likely to puncture anything.
But less… interesting…?
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.
Since others have taken the in-their-ass approach already: inside my microphone. The end unscrews, which isn’t really obvious unless you fuck with it. I used to hide my prescriptions in there to get them past room checks at my old boarding school.
