Tyler I don't really have the answer your looking for, but I do have a few things to think about.

1 . My uncle has a logging co. and he doesn't trust banks with all his money for a variety of reasons. So he keeps a large cash savings and on day back in the '90s he was going to buy some equipment at auction and had 90,000.00 in the trunk . Well out of nowhere he's pulled over by unmarked car ( Marshalls ) and they said where you going with all that money , he said I don't know what your talking about , and they said you've got 90,000.00 in the trunk we seen it when you drove by.
Turns out that the magnetic strips are detectable .

2 I'm in construction and I have built several storage units , if someone had a reason to think you have something worth stealing they can break into the unit next to yours , no matter what lock you get.

3 if you do get busted someone has to keep up the rent or it'll be auction off .

Just trying to help .

Maybe a money laundering is in order.
Holy shit! Great info. I had no idea they had devices to read magnetic strips on cash. That has to be because they're US Marshals, right? Local leo wouldn't have that equipment, would they??? He would bring the cash in amounts less than 10k to limit risk. What did those Marshals do to your uncle's money? Breaking into his unit via a neighboring unit is something I haven't thought of, but again, security by obscurity since we are assuming no one knows about the cash. Also, they'd have a hard time with the safe. If he got busted, the unit would be paid for a year in advance. He'd surely be able to access it at some point before going in, maybe even take the option of relocating to sunny Mexico. His Spanish is getting pretty good via rosetta stone ;) Thanks for the food for thought, I knew you guys would find the holes I missed...

Another option would be converting the money to precious metals, then "storing" it in the ground. Gold 'decomposes' much slower than 'paper' currency. (US currency is made from cotton, not paper.)

Don't dig the hole when you're stoned. :eyesmoke:

Gotta be able to find it later... :dunce: :-(

So, I was doing a hike through SS, and it was kind of a bummer. Ended up raining for 3 of the 4 days I was there. Plus I didn't catch shit. 4th morning I got up to take a piss, and this little bastard was 10ft away from me. I think he smelled my awesome homemade minestrone, and got curious. I fired off a few rounds in the air, and he booked. I was sketchy for the next hour. Wondering when mom was gonna show up...

After a short q & a they let my uncle move on. And yeah I think it was because they were Marshalls I don't think they locals have that kind of technology. And his stop was just by chance , he drove past them as they were pulling out of a restaurant.

We better hope the local LEOs don't get that tech, they are kicking up asset forfeiture to new levels. Alas, they'll get the tech soon and cruise neighborhoods looking for stashes under mattresses

Interesting, never crossed my mind. I know almost nothing about it. How secure are those accounts? Are they regulated? Are they tied to one's identity in any way? How would he get the cash to them to convert? Can you think of any downside? Thanks for the idea, Annie..
Google it Tyler, that's your best bet.

Money is printed using, mostly, magnetic ink
