A viral video shows the trick of hiding jewelery in a curtain rod. But sharing such ideas online also makes thieves alert, making this method risky. Bank locker is a safer option for valuables.
Whenever we go out of the house for a walk or for some work, the biggest concern is about the valuables kept in the house, especially gold and silver jewellery. Where to hide them from thieves is a big question. An interesting and strange video related to this problem is going viral on social media.
What’s in the viral video?
In this viral video, a woman is seen cleverly hiding small gold ornaments (like rings, earrings etc.) in her house. She removes the cap from the side of the curtain rod on the window, inserts the jewelry into the hollow space inside, and closes the cap back. When seen from above, it appears to be just an ordinary curtain rod, due to which thieves would not even suspect that there might be gold inside it.
People gave mixed reactions
This video is spreading like wildfire, but it has also sparked debate. Some people praised it, saying, “Thieves usually search under the cupboard, locker or bed. No one will be able to peek inside the curtain rod. This is a good idea for emergencies.” At the same time, many people expressed concern over this and warned, “Remember, when you share such ideas on social media, thieves also see them. Now that this secret has been revealed, it is possible that the thieves might check the curtain rod first.”
Remember these things for safety
Whenever a new idea goes viral on the internet, its secret also gets lost. Therefore, the safest option is to keep precious gold in a bank locker instead of keeping large quantities of it at home. Before adopting such ‘secret’ jugaad, think about its dangers. Installing CCTV cameras or security alarm in the house is a better solution.
Big danger behind Jugaad
This video may seem like a smart solution, but there is a big danger hidden behind it. In today’s digital age, the ‘Smart Hacks’ we share provide new opportunities not only to common people but also to thieves. Earlier people used to hide money between rice boxes or old books. But now videos of gold and money being hidden inside curtain rods, switch boards or between false ceilings are going viral, which can also change the methods of theft.
Cyber experts believe that the more viral such videos become, the less their security and secrecy becomes. Thieves are now keeping an eye on such awkward places more than shelves. Therefore, it is better to think twice before doing such experiments by watching social media. Real security lies not in making things viral, but in keeping them secret.
