Default Places to hide things

So as I’m still in school at the moment, and certainty things like knives aren’t allowed on school property I have appeased my parents by telling them I hid them in my truck. I know of 2 places that are very good hiding spots and can fit most anything and will stay out of the prying eyes. Place #1 is not difficult to get to just takes more time than I personally like. Place #1 is the big oval dash panel that pops in with an array of small clips to hold it down. No one would know unless they saw you fooling with it and went to search it. My personal favorite so far is in the glove box. Not just in the compartment itself, but if you look to the side of the opening it goes back to a dead end. Just ends. I flip my knives over and hang them by the pocket clip so only that is showing. It’s pretty easily accessible, the knife clip is black and hides itself well in the dark corner. Plus not many people will go all the way back to search it nor even thing about looking back there. What are your favorite spots other than what I have described?

Well Um where I'm from pocket knives are tools not weapons... unless you're carrying butterfly knives? If you're in high school just put it in the glovebox or center console. No need to "hide" it more than that.
If you're not allowed to carry them on school property...then leave them at home... if you still want to leave them in your truck for whatever reason then just put it in your glovebox and quit bragging to your friends how you have knives hidden in your truck. It's really not a big deal...

Is this really a serious post?

Also legal disclaimer I am not telling you to carry knives where they are prohibited. Just telling you to quit talking about how you're hiding knives where you aren't supposed to be

"Efarmer" sounds like a dating site for Farmers. And then the title "places to hide things" really threw me off.

Wasn't expecting to come in and hear about knives.

It’s not a serious post just shooting a question out to see whoever could answer with an entertaining answer.

It's only a secret hiding place as long as you keep it a secret. The minute you get on the internet and start blabbing about it, it's no longer a secret.

Yep... shouldn't talk about it, or take pics.

You don't need a knife in your car at school.

I suggest you Google what has happened to some people who were caught with simple things like EMT rescue knives for cutting seat belts. Felony charges not just being kicked out of school . Charges that ruin their plans for life.

like it or not, agree with it or not, schools have a zero-tolerance policy for weapons today. ZERO. Due to things that have occurred schools are a no weapons zone. Many states have allowed them to a very broadly defined that weapon. I strongly suggest you toe the line on that policy.

all it takes is somebody being pissed at you to rat you out and they can search your car on school property. People's cars have been searched because of something they posted online.

whether they do it right or wrong with probable cause or not is irrelevant your parents will spend many many many thousands of dollars trying to fight it at best unsuccessfully most likely.. At worse you're kicked out of school with a criminal record.

Sorry, that's the facts, don't be stupid.

stupid people today and a nanny government has taken us a long way from when I was a kid. When I was 8 years old we wore our scout knives to school on our belts, it was part of our uniform. Weren't any stabbings either, or anything else.
