While some try to find nooks and crannies in the house or buy full-fledged safes, you don’t really need to go too far out of your way to hide a few things. Using a piece of decoration that everyone is so accustomed to that they stop noticing it is the perfect disguise for a hidden safe. This Silver Wall Clock may look as simple as can be, but it hides a shelved storage system. The only issue is that there isn’t a locking mechanism on the clock, so if someone figures out that things aren’t as they appear, you’re going to need a new place to put your valuables. If nothing else, this will make sure kids can’t get a hold of cash, cards, or jewelry unless they figure out how to put a chair by the wall under the clock.
When Wheatcroft was 15, he spent birthday money from his grandmother on three second world war Jeeps recovered from the Shetlands, which he restored himself and sold for a tidy profit. He spent his spare time touring wind-blasted battle sites in Europe and North Africa, searching for tank parts and recovering military vehicles that he would ship home to restore. Wheatcroft is now 55, and according to the Sunday Times Rich List, worth £120m. He lives in Leicestershire, where he looks after the property portfolio of his late father and oversees the management of Donington Park Racetrack and motor museum... The ruling passion of his life, though, is what he calls the Wheatcroft Collection – widely regarded as the world’s largest accumulation of German military vehicles and Nazi memorabilia. The collection has largely been kept in private, under heavy guard, either in the warren of industrial buildings Wheatcroft owns near Market Harborough, or at his homes in Leicestershire, the Charente in south-west France and the Mosel Valley in... There is no official record of the value of Wheatcroft’s collection, but some estimates place it at over £100m. Wheatcroft is a large, quiet man and a legend in the blokey, Clarksonish world of online military history.
He was there to carry out a repair to the old-fashioned chain-pulled cistern and, according to royal sources, as he worked to fix the problem, he leant against the lavatory and part of the structure came away from the wall. What started as a routine job suddenly took on larger and more urgent proportions and at the same time served to sharply illuminate just how serious the problem of the crumbling Buckingham Palace has become. This week aides warned the Queen may have to move out of her London home so builders can carry out £150 million worth of refurbishment. It was said the Palace, which has not been redecorated for more than 60 years, has fallen into such a state of disrepair that the wiring and plumbing will have to be replaced and the works could take up to ten years. Even so it has soared from a quote only two years ago, when officials predicted £50 million was needed to cover the maintenance for all the royal palaces. At a time when many are still suffering the hardship of years of economic restraint it may not have been the best moment to ask for more taxpayers’ money.
