    That depends on whether I can separate the bills and keep the ones they don’t find, or if it’s an all or nothing system. There’s a loose floorboard in one room, so if it’s all or nothing, I’d lift that and chuck the package as far as possible under there, replace the board, then mess up multiple other places in the house.

    If they can be separated, there are 100 notes, and they’re individually going in every gap, crevase and hole I can find. Between the floor boards, under carpeting, in the gaps in the bottom of the couch, I have a stapler, so pop the bases loose on some chairs, then restaple them shut, tape them under floor level cupboards. I’d have to move fast, but their unlikely to find everything, so I’d be finding random $100 notes for ages afterwards, because there no way I’d remember everywhere I put them.

    Some stupid ideas:

    • Roll the bills and stuff them into a condom. Shove it up my ass. It might feel uncomfortable for the next couple of hours, and a few more hours after that, but hey, 10k USD, right?

    • I have a bunk bed that is made out of hollow metal tubes. Roll the bills, insert into a plastic bag and drop it into one of the vertical tubes holding the bed up. It should fall all the way down, with no way to see it unless you already know it has fallen inside it.

    • Put the bills (flat) inside a plastic ziploc bag and shove it inside my PC. I’ll insert it between my SSD, or underneath the motherboard.

    Of those ideas, I quite like the first two. Easiest to do is the second one, so that’s probably what I’d do.

      I think you are underestimating how thick the roll would be, unless you trained your ass very hard you won’t be able to shove it there. Second one sounds good!

        I was actually thinking “It’s just 100 × $100 bills, how thick can it be?” until I did the calculations just now. I found the value of 0.0043 in for the thickness of a 100 USD bill somewhere online and did the calculations.

        (10 000 USD) × (1 bill / 100 USD) × (0.0043 in / 1 bill) 
        = 0.430 in
        ≈ 1.0922 cm
        

        I greatly underestimated the thickness of a stack of 100 USD bills. At just over a centimeter thick, I doubt I can even roll using the short side (for a smaller circumference).

    Inside a box of wet wipes. Take out half the wipes, put the money (inside a baggie) in the tub, put some of the remaining wipes on top, and chuck it the storage bin under the bathroom sink with the extra shower liners and that value-sized jug of hand soap. It’s such a mundane place that most people wouldn’t think to look there. And the remaining wet wipes could go in a baggie in your pocket, so there’s no evidence the wipes were tampered with.

    I have a cupboard filled with old papers, folders etc. I’m going to put it in a battered old envelope and chuck it in there. Hide it in plain sight. There’s so much shit in there it’ll take ages to sort, plus I’ll leave false clues other places.

    The chances of lasting go way up if you are able to hide it in your car. If it doesn’t need to be started or run, there are a whole lot of places that won’t get checked without taking the engine apart. Upper and lower radiator hoses are the first to come to mind. Oil and transmission pan are the next options. There is often even room under the intake.
