Defender personal safe vs hiding places?
I have been unable to product/vendor to buy a safe for a Defender to store personal belongings and cash. Don’t know if my searching skills have met its match or what I am missing, but nothing coming up on Google or in HUBB threads. I would have thought these types of products are readily available?
On the other hand, should I just be better at hiding cash in hard to reach places - Any tips with regards to this?
As always thanks in advance for the help

This is the sort of thing you need , steer clear of digital (electroic locks)
You then need to locate in suitable place , not immedaitely visible. Make sure that you use waterproof container eg tupperware for items ,esp if wading .

I've prevoiusly bolted a simple cash box inside a cupboard where it was only possible to get the key in and unlock it by feel as it was under parts of the cupboard and not visible.
Didn't help when the whole landcruiser was taken while we slept at a backpackers. Passports etc all gone

lol, like the Heinz option. Center console will be used for some safe storage, but starting to think it is probably not such a good idea to have all valuable locked in one place. I think the money bag on headlining and a couple other innovative hiding places is probably the way to go.
cheers

We had Nene Overland fit one into the vehicle body so that the carpet could just be pulled back over it. Works a treat. However, definately like the sound of the 'Distraction' plan!
