Stash It In The Air Vent Safe

bfred — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 17:39:09 +0000

Hiding your “stash” (whatever that may be) is a time-honored tradition for every man. Unfortunately professional safes can cost thousands of dollars, so most resort to simply throwing it under a mattress or slipping it into a sea of shoeboxes. Hidden Safes, Inc. has now developed a clever, affordable alternative to the famous picture frame safe'the Air Vent Secret Compartment.

Simply cut a hole in your dry wall and install this shelf system that opens and closes with the turn of a screw. The company estimates that there are one trillion air vents in the country, so the chances of someone finding your secret spot are pretty slim. Buy one here for $259.95 or check out more of the company’s safe options below.

Night Vision Security System Keeps One Eye Open

After hiring a home security specialist, it would usually cost thousands of dollars to outfit your crib with a state of the art, wireless night vision security camera system. But if you need to keep an eye on things without dropping too much paper, China Vision has created this Wireless Home Surveillance Kit. This bargain basement deal comes with 4 cameras that use infrared technology to keep watch at night, a wireless receiver and remote control. Sure, it probably isn’t as fool-proof as a carefully designed security system, but for only $119.57 each (the price goes down if you buy more sets), it can’t be beat. See some more pictures after the jump.

Forget A Gun, Weâ€™ll Take A Security Dog

In this age of high-tech weaponry, there's something refreshingly analog about having a trained-to-bite-the-living-shit-out-of-you security dog for protection. Harrison K9 trains and sells German shepherds as personal security for anybody willing to shell out $50,000 to have the baddest muthafuckin' dog on the block. Since the security dogs are also meant to be family companions, the dogs are trained predominantly by females and taught commands in German. Something kinda eerie about this whole thing, but maybe we've seen Cujo a few too many times. See what these dogs can do for you in the promo video after the jump.
