"Thief-safe" ?
I guess you hide your smartphones in a dvd-player-like safe ?
ROFL

Aww damn! I thought of this idea years ago to bring pot into a concert, but I never followed up on it. OH WELL! Great minds think alike! Great instructable too, keep up the good work.

However, thanks for the instructable it looks cool.

This safe is not so safe. Cigarettes are being taxed tremendously, here in New York. It now costs about $12 a pack.
Don't be surprised if the next time a thief breaks in, he will steal all of your cigarettes, even if there is no other valuables to steal.

[Miscelinious]

hmm... I would definitely do this if i was legal to actually carry cigarettes. i like it. :)

[Ecchin]

Where is it illegal to carry cigars? :o Anyway, what about a pack of gum? A pack of gum with a faux bottom where you can hide a few bills and coins. And you can still use the box to save gum :3

[cornflaker]

 I think she means shes under aged lol

[Ecchin]

Oh... *facepalm, followed by facedesk*.

[abf220]

its a great idea but suckes for minors we cant get a pack to make the safe out of

[cornflaker]

 i saw a video ages ago on metacafe that showed you how to make a can of coke where the top screws off, you might like that one a little more being under aged...

[Gloomy_Goth]

The difference between "police" and "thief" is divided by a very fine line. If you are taking something from somebodies home without the OWNERS' permission it is still wrong and unethical, no mater what reason or warrant. But the cops and being unethical and using cloak and dagger to get what they like is nothing new, it is their bread and butter.

[boristherussian]

I think that you have been watching too many cop shows...

[russian5]

Unfortunately, he's right. Most cops nowadays are just thugs with badges.

[DeaH]

This is really a great idea. If I were to make any modification, I would add the top of a lighter to the rows of filters. This would help answer two questions I might have about the safe: First, why would a pack of smokes be open with no cigarettes missing? And, second, why is the pack heavier than a normal pack of cigarettes. The lighter would take up places where the "smoked" cigarettes are missing, and it would add weight.

[JAGleason11]

To bad if you had this in your pocket and had to deal with a seach the cop would open it up and throw the open pack on the hood of his car. I know from experience that you cant hide stuff in your cigs. Just ask my friend who I was driving that had some "stuff" when we got pulled over for DUI.

[mcwillie]

nice ible when one of my relatives died and my family was clearing out her house they found thousands of dollars in old cigarette boxes too bad theyd already thrown away hundreds

[lanzadora]

aua ................ promise not to put thousands !!! dont have them anyway ;-)

[agis68]

Very clever but here in Greece some junkies broke the car for a cigarete....:(

[lanzadora]

ok , ill call it MOTHER-AND-DOORKEEPER-SAFE SAFE

[PuddleOfMudd25]

Uhh.. smokins' bayd....

[NightFire]

My car was broken in to a couple of months ago. The only thing they took was my wife's cigarettes.

[punkmonkey123]

When I got burgled, the first thing I noticed was missing were my cigarettes. Ruined the rest of my week.

[topherishel]

it sounds like a great idea, but like every else is saying thieves would most probably smoke and take em away also, and cops search cig packs also, and they will take em away if you they lock you up, no smoking inside the cell, well thats here in mexico and im not thinking like an officer been caught myself. not to proud but haha i can laugh about it now, great job anyway lanzadora would probably make one for a concert when you are trying to sneak in the goods

[thepelton]

Hollow out the most boring book you can find.

[boristherussian]

This would work great if the theif wasn't a smoker...

[pocketsnzl]

or you can use an old empty deodorant can with the twisty style cap(the new lynx cans)cut it near there and make alignment shaft so it fits together...P.S i have so many hidden safes from my brothers and sisters so they have to earn theyre own money... Ha LOLOLOLOLOLOL

[pocketsnzl]

i used an old bb gun magazine no one goes near it cos its broken... or so they think

I agree i got pulled over and the cop search my jeep, i guess trying to find drugs and he took every cig out of the pack, everything out of the console and didnt put any thing back just left it on the floorboard for me to pick up. Then wrote my ticket and sent me on my way. what a d*ck!

[wupme]

Same here in Germany, if they search you, they also search your cigarette packs. They usually take out the cigarettes to see if there are drugs or something else hidden. And i think every robber and thief who smokes will steal that pack too. But still, the idea is pretty nice, and it is nicely done. 4 Stars for the Ible itself, but -1 for the security

[lanzadora]

und ich rauch meine stickies in jeder disco , türsteher machen das paket nicht kaputt .................. grins

[geekazoid]

Deutschland! Ha! Sorry I can read it but not write it:)

[tom123il]

At the cost of smokes now...that would be the first thing taken :)

[CybergothiChe]

yeah, fully,I was just going to say that...here in Australia, if you go robbed, your ciggys would be one of the first things to be taken, probably second, after your cash, or third, if you are driving a car...

[lanzadora]

did not think about it , you are right ... living on canarian islands tobacco is so cheap , 1 € a pack , so it did not occur to me

[godfreyandthandi]

wow! over here in australia its $20 a pack!

[Arbitror]

You should see the price in Canada... I don't smoke, but the last time I saw a price was $80.

[chrisandamanda]

that is for a carton. Here in Ontario it is $8.75 for a pack.

[godfreyandthandi]

...wtf! what the hell do they put in those cigarettes? i don't smoke either... but i see them around at the supermarkets etc... is that for a regular old pack?

[Dr.Paj]

In the US the price increase is due to taxes. Or at least that is what I believe reading.
