there a million places to hide a key.the trick is to make finding it take time,which the bad guys don't want.things like under a rock by the sidewalk or in a power box are easy finds.under a rock in a pile of rocks in a garden,painted brown with parts of it filed down so it does not shout out "key" and hid behind a tree or green and hung deep inside a bush.in a bit of phony trash inside the garbage can,slipped under a shingle on the side of the house..those are all time wasters and the in and out gang won't work those..plus all those key hiders sold in catalogs are just targets.
