Books with author George Sheppard

Sometimes the secret to stashing your valuables is as simple as a hollowed out book. In other cases, whatever it is you’re intending to protect may be highly confidential information that requires increased security. A hollow book just won’t do. This book isn’t hollow; in it, we will discuss various hiding places, from the simple and straight forward to the complex – a place to hide your cash from your light-fingered roommate or a place where your family heirlooms may be safe from the most cunning of jewelry thieves. We will also look at secret hiding places specific to travel, as tourists are often a prime target for petty theft or burglary.The use of secret hiding places isn’t limited to hiding items of value; hiding places can also be used to conceal weapons. Carrying a weapon on your person at all times will allow you to defend yourself should the need arise, without provoking suspicion in your assailant or making those around you feel threatened. We’ll provide a few methods by which to hide both valuables and weapons on your person.Learn how to hide your treasures, items and documents securely:1) In Your Home2) On The Road3) When You're Traveling4) From Hackers/Cyber Thievesand more...
