Had my house burglarized by a so-called friend. He missed by far the most valuable thing. it’s just a safe sitting on the laundry room floor. He missed it because I’m a scumbag and had it covered with a mountain of dirty clothes and towels.
So not being tidy saved me upwards of 35k.
If it's empty, you can cut a hole in the bottom, for example, clean the inside and make some type of lid, to close it again. It's not like anybody will be inspecting it in detail ;)
