What is not recommended is some place so obscure it could be missed entirely. Funny story one one hand but not so funny one the other .....when my great grandmother passed and we went to clean out her house, I was cleaning out the kitchen. I started on the fridge and freezer. We were out of state, and knew no one so we could not keep any of the food. I did not know how long it had been in there either so we had to pitch it. She had cold cuts on the freezer, I started to pitch it and then as I was moving it to the trash, something strange caught my eye on the edge of it inside. It didn't look right between the meat.

I couldn't get it out so defrosted it. There was 5 100 bills stashed in saran wrap in the ham. I had to go back through the trash through all the frozen foods and through both freezers. All in all there was $26,000 that I might have thrown away. She picked a good spot though. I doubt anyone would have looked there. Those were some very expensive cold cuts!
