Workshop with a secret
I've always had tenants in my house with the adjoining door protected only by the kind of lock that you use on a bathroom door. Although none of them ever gave reason to not trust them I still chose to put valuables in my detached shop that had a proper lock. This is where I kept my treasure trove of private photos. It's mostly my wife from age 20 - 30 but also some girlfriends before her. As well as a few friends who were caught during a "brave" moments. They were protected mostly by virtue of beeing hidden amongst clutter typical of a shop. At one point I tried investing in precious metals and had about $5k worth sitting around so I decided to upgrade my safe spot by building a false drawer in the kick of my kitchen-style base cabinets. Several times a year I would get a few more pics to add to the collection and I was a regular part of my routine and impossible to forget about.
Jump ahead some years and the metals were all gone and the new pics were all digital. I'd even gone back to scan them all before hiding them away again. After years of sitting untouched, I sell the house. Of course my last day to be out is a crazy rush and there are a million things to do. I got everything done but forgot that one thing.
I don't know if I hope they remain hidden, or hope they will be found, but someone owns a shop with a secret.
