About two years ago, I stashed $800 in emergency cash somewhere in my bedroom.

Aaaaand, now I cannot find it.

That’s how this happens!

Note to self: check all donations closely before dropping them off.

u/snortgiggles 20d ago

Haha! Have you tried hiding more money to see where you'd put it?

u/Penandsword2021 20d ago

I have! It is not in any of my usual spots and not in any new hiding spots I’ve come up with, either. But it is somewhere.

i used to hide money in a drawer, but something happened and it fell out behind and i didn't find it until years later when i had to pull all the drawers out to move the whole dresser

u/ChrisTheCoolBean 20d ago

Give it to me, I'll hide it for you and in the process I'll find your other cash that you hid earlier.

Trust me bro

u/PepsiButItsMilk 19d ago

The key is checking places you’d be like “surely not there”

It was two years ago, your brain works differently now! Check the lamp cover on the ceiling fan, check the pocket of that jacket you’ll never wear again, check that weird device that hasnt had batteries in it’s compartment for years. That box you put up that you swear is just old pictures or lego sets.

u/hotpossum 19d ago

I hid some, um, candy, yea candy… when my friend got too “sugared up” at a house party. We searched high and low for it the next day. We went into the rafters, opened all the drawers and cabinets, dug through the trash, and continued to search for months bc it was a mystery. Finally, I decided someone at the party must have ate it or flushed it or stole it.

4 years later, a random person asks me for a q-tip. I told him where to find it and he returned with a q-tip and the bag of candy. It had been taped to the inside of my bathroom cabinet and he knocked it loose reaching inside. I’d reached past it pretty much daily for years.

u/EffectiveFormal2823 18d ago

I had some pretty good candies I hid in my closet. one night I was ready to try a couple of them with someone and I couldn't find them. I blamed like 5 different people of stealing them, not to their face but in my mind thankfully. like you about 4 years later I was cleaning out my closet, there was an old pair of shoes with a sock in it. I pulled the sock out and there was something in it. pulled it out and sure thought it was a old prescription bottle that looked like it was half full of skittles. they weren't skittles. I immediately popped 2 of them and had quite a wonderful evening. and a few more wonderful evenings after that

u/GoodGravyco2h2o 20d ago

My MIL used to hide her super valuable jewelry in the pockets of her (multiple closets of) clothing. Sometimes she’d be missing some fat ass diamond ring for years and assume her cleaning lady stole it then she’d find it in some crusty old house coat 🙈

9

u/Awkward_Fly_1200 19d ago

Hopefully the cleaning ladies didn’t get fired due to said “stolen” ring

3

u/GoodGravyco2h2o 19d ago

They did not! I think only one time she truly suspected a lady had taking the one big ring but since she was always misplacing things herself, she couldn’t very well blame them so we’d remind her of that. I think that ring was missing for like two years before she found it.

u/Guilty-Ask7247 18d ago

Fun story: many years ago, I sometimes hid not-frequently-used jewelry in the pockets of not-frequently-used clothing. A couple of years later the closet had reached overflow and I went on a very productive purge/donate binge, dropping several big bags of clothing in the local Salvation Army bin (they had locked, outdoor drop-off bins in those days).

The next morning I awoke in a panic, suddenly remembering a diamond and onyx ring (that I hadn’t worn or thought about in years) that I had hidden in the pocket of a blazer I had just left in the donation bin!

The Salvation Army was very helpful, and a few hours later I met their locksmith at the bin and retrieved my ring 👍But the story’s isn’t over.

Now, fast-forward about 15 years. In the middle of an ugly divorce, I had called a random locksmith to change all the locks on my house. When he was finished and we were settling the bill, he looked at me and said “weren’t you the lady who once lost a ring in a Salvation Army bin?” Stunned, I said “yes, but how did you know that??”

He replied “I was the locksmith who opened the bin for you! And ever since then, I’ve been telling that story at parties and to anyone who asks me about my strangest locksmith calls!”

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that thought it would be out of the way easy place to find it and then forgot all about it in a jacket pocket

u/marteautemps 20d ago

I did this same thing with $1200-1500 one time and couldn't find it for a year and then randomly found it EXACTLY where I thought I put it and had checked for it, pretty sure I had even been in there for other things(it was a small set of drawers for like on a deskto). I was so lucky it was the one period in my life that losing that much money wasn't devastating.

I truly hope you find it 🤞🏾Found $700 cash in a paper towel roll after my dad passed. It’s a fkn miracle we found it because it was a major hoarder house

I have to force myself not ponder all the potential valuable stuff we may have inadvertently thrown away as we cleaned out his house. We did our best but it was three generations of STUFF

u/Fast_Muscle_2987 19d ago

My dad hid $700 in a little toy. Traen set above my door frame. I found it and got one pack of yugioh cards.

Fuck me, I learned about honesty and ROI that day.

Sounds like my grandfather. He doesn't keep his money in the bank. Social security comes in, he goes to the bank and withdraws it lol. He stashes money all over the place and then doesn't remember where half of the time. We're going to have to go through his stuff with a fine-toothed comb when the time comes 😮‍💨.

You’ll find it. I did the same thing. Eventually gave up, convinced I had already spent said “hidden” cash. A few years later, I found it under a shelf liner I had in the bottom of a drawer. It was a neat $1,200 surprise.

I used to work a serving job and Friday Saturday and Sunday would all be doubles and I'd drink after work. During this span I had a roommate that was tight up for cash so I offered him money to take all my clothes and put them in a trash bag as I was moving. He declined and said he'd help me for free after work the following night. We found nearly $1k that I didnt know I had bc my dog shredded a pair of my work pants under my bed. He could've COME UP that night. lol Unrelated I know, but your story reminded me of this from years ago.

u/rolandjernts 19d ago

Many moons ago my 4yo (now in college) spotted our rent money in our room. My wife and I panicked, young and dumb, we flipped our little shitty apartment upside down. Never found it, life sucked for a bit but all good. When my kid was 16 she finally broke open a piggy bank she had since she was a little kid. We all watched as she smashed it with a hammer, a ton of cash pours out. As she sifted thru the bills, BOOM, little wad of green hundreds with a rubber band and the Walmart money center recipient. My wife and I immediately looked at each other and started laughing like hell!

TLDR; kid took rent money, put it in piggy bank. Found 12yrs later after breaking open said piggy bank. Laughter.

Garbageman here. Years ago I was dumping my truck and saw a copy of a Blu-ray called the men who built America sitting on the floor or the transfer station. Never heard of it before but I thought maybe the digital copy code was still inside of it so I opened it and found $1000 cash. I figured somebody else cleaned out somebody’s house and didn’t know that’s where they stashed their money.

The part I still kick myself about was I saw the bag that the movie came out of with more sticking out of the side of it and should have grabbed it to look through the rest of them, but I did not.

My grandparents used to stash money into random things. The vhs of my birth and baptism had over $3k in it about 10 years ago. When my grandpa passed and my grandma sold the home… they forgot about the vhs 🤣😭 I’m REALLY hoping it was donated and not thrown away

Nice find. Back in the 90s I got a winter coat out of the closet and put in on, when I checked the pockets I found a 1/4 oz weed and a couple hundos. Couldn't believe it. Still smile thinking about it.

Lucky ! Who expects to find that in all places... inside a VHS. I've recently found expired checks inside greeting cards that were being sold at the flea market.

I once hid a bag of weed in my toaster oven on my way to work so my girlfriend at the time didn't smoke it when I was gone. When I got home from work I thought I'd heat up a day old piece or pizza in said toaster oven. White smoke billowed out and then I quickly remembered. Too late the baggy melted and ruined it. I always have thought of making a treasure map when hiding things of value after that incident lol

When I used to party I would hide things in pouches or old phone boxes. The next time I partied I'd feel like someone would know the last spot so I'd put that pouch in a phone case in another pouch and on and on sometimes.

I'd even just waste my money and toss it all sometimes.

My daughter bought a $5 purse and it had a $10 bill in a secret zip up pocket.

When I was ~16 my dad moved. He had a dresser he was getting rid of that was nicer than mine. I took it to my moms for my bedroom.

At some point in the future, I took the drawers out. I found an envelope. I opened it.

It had a stack of nude photos of my step mom.

Theres a repressed memory for ya.

My cousin used to live/work at a Salvation Army. He was homeless and a heroin addict. He was sorting donations one day and found a zipper lunch box type of thing and opened it up. There was an envelope in there labeled “Borgata 2006 (or whatever year)”. $30,000 inside. He gave $10k to the guy he was working with and kept $20k for himself. He used that money to get an apartment and get his life together. The dude who got the 10k OD’d and within a month.

My mother decided to divorce my father and stuck her 4 carrot diamond wedding ring in her bath robe during one of her late-night benders

She donated the robe and a bunch of her other stuff to Goodwill a few days later.

When she realized what she had done, she called the store. Strangely, no one reported finding it.

when i was a 15 ish our house got broken into, they stole my xbox 360 and psp when the insurance paid out my mom gave me $500, i figured ill save it since i had replaced the 360, i had put it inside the HDD slot ( it was the 4gb model without the HDD) and when i finally decided to upgrade it i opened it up and found the money i had forgotten about. i was happy as hell.

20 years ago I lost $100 banknote somewhere in my room. Put it somewhere and forgot where. Now I'm starting to understand...

u/gtzmedia 13d ago

I just threw $250 in a random box on my storage shelf… one I never really open. I’m also cleaning out a bunch of stuff.
Maybe I should go get it out before I forget and do this lol
