Neat idea, but when my car was broken into, the only thing stolen was a pack of cigarettes...

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.

And, the NYPD looks inside your cigarette packs. (Luckily, they found nothing in mine.)

Well if you are a minor, how are you going to get the cigarettes? They cannot be sold to minors

"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.
yk191 says: Jul 12, 2011. 12:16 PM
However, thanks for the instructable it looks cool.

hmm... I would definitely do this if i was legal to actually carry cigarettes. i like it. :)
Ecchin says: Jul 27, 2009. 3:43 AM
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

 I think she means shes under aged lol
Ecchin says: Feb 6, 2010. 6:08 AM
Oh... *facepalm, followed by facedesk*.
abf220 says: Jan 9, 2010. 9:04 PM
its a great idea but suckes for minors we cant get a pack to make the safe out of

cornflaker says: Feb 6, 2010. 4:15 AM
 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...

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.

I think that you have been watching too many cop shows...
russian5 says: Jan 22, 2010. 7:24 AM
Unfortunately, he's right. Most cops nowadays are just thugs with badges.
DeaH says: Jul 22, 2009. 9:16 AM
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.

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.

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 (author) says: Aug 3, 2009. 4:21 AM

agis68 says: Jul 23, 2009. 2:50 AM
Very clever but here in Greece some junkies broke the car for a cigarete....:(
lanzadora (author) says: Jul 26, 2009. 1:07 PM

PuddleOfMudd25 says: Jul 25, 2009. 4:05 PM
Uhh.. smokins' bayd....
NightFire says: Jul 22, 2009. 1:33 PM
My car was broken in to a couple of months ago. The only thing they took was my wife's cigarettes.
punkmonkey123 says: Jul 22, 2009. 10:11 AM
When I got burgled, the first thing I noticed was missing were my cigarettes. Ruined the rest of my week.
topherishel says: Jul 21, 2009. 2:42 AM
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 says: Jul 22, 2009. 9:59 AM
Hollow out the most boring book you can find.
boristherussian says: Jul 22, 2009. 7:18 AM
This would work great if the theif wasn't a smoker...
pocketsnzl says: Jul 22, 2009. 12:58 AM
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 says: Jul 22, 2009. 12:53 AM

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 says: Jul 20, 2009. 7:50 AM
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 (author) says: Jul 20, 2009. 8:44 AM
und ich rauch meine stickies in jeder disco , türsteher machen das paket nicht kaputt .................. grins
geekazoid says: Jul 21, 2009. 6:30 AM
Deutschland! Ha! Sorry I can read it but not write it:)
tom123il says: Jul 19, 2009. 5:27 PM
At the cost of smokes now...that would be the first thing taken :)
CybergothiChe says: Jul 19, 2009. 8:03 PM
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 (author) says: Jul 20, 2009. 8:43 AM
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 says: Jul 20, 2009. 7:25 PM
wow! over here in australia its $20 a pack!
Arbitror says: Jul 20, 2009. 11:36 PM
You should see the price in Canada... I don't smoke, but the last time I saw a price was $80.
