The Garage Hiding Spot That Makes Perfect Sense
Here’s the deal — burglars head for the master bedroom. They hit the dresser, the closet, and the nightstand. Know what room they almost never bother with? The garage. And if they do glance in, they’re looking at tools and electronics, not a greasy can of engine degreaser on a shelf between brake fluid and WD-40. That’s what makes this diversion safe so effective — it belongs in the one room nobody searches for valuables.
Who This Diversion Safe Is For
Anyone with a garage, workshop, or tool shed. People who want a hiding spot outside the house entirely — separated from the main living space where break-ins focus. Mechanics and DIY types whose shelves are already full of automotive products where this blends right in. If you want to spread your hiding spots beyond the kitchen and bedroom, the garage is the smartest room to add.
Is This the Right Choice for You?
Choose the Engine Degreaser Safe if you want:
- The only garage-specific diversion safe in our lineup
- A hiding spot in a room burglars rarely search thoroughly
- A 1¾” x 4″ compartment — wider than soda cans, good for keys and rolled cash
Consider something else if you need:
- A kitchen or fridge hiding spot — the can and bottle safes are better there
- The largest compartment — the coffee can safe is wider at 2⅞”
Hide Where Nobody Looks
Think about your own garage. Shelves full of cans, bottles, and products you haven’t touched in months. That’s exactly what makes this work. A can of engine degreaser doesn’t stand out, doesn’t get moved, and doesn’t invite curiosity. The screw-on lid at the bottom opens to a compartment measuring 1¾” x 4″ — room for rolled cash, a spare car key, a house key, small jewelry, or anything you want stored in a separate location from your main hiding spots inside.
At 0.75 pounds, it feels like a real can with product in it. The weight is designed to match what you’d expect when picking up an actual container of degreaser. Place it on a shelf among similar products, and it disappears completely.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it actually contain degreaser?
No — it’s a hollow container with a hidden compartment. It doesn’t hold any liquid or chemical product. It’s designed to look like a real can of degreaser from the outside only.
Why hide things in the garage?
Because that’s the room burglars skip or rush through. They want electronics, jewelry, and cash — and they look for those in bedrooms, living rooms, and home offices. A garage shelf full of auto products doesn’t register as a target. Spreading your hiding spots across multiple rooms and buildings is the smartest strategy.
Can extreme heat or cold in the garage damage it?
The container is designed for normal conditions. Extreme heat in a summer garage or freezing winter temperatures won’t damage the shell, but avoid storing anything inside that’s heat-sensitive — like medication — in an uninsulated garage.
