    That book is overdue & is now facing overdue fines.

    You must return it to the Boneyard Library or be lodged with the collection service.

    if you return the book ASAP any overdue fines will be waived.

    It is a good question and one we all ask, however most are not going to explain where they hide their stash :)

    Some questions you need to ask, how much will you be stacking ? Will it be more Gold/Silver ? What is the demographic, do you share a house/flat etc... Then once you have some answers you can start to investigate things like
    - Insurance
    - Safes
    - Banks
    - Private Storage (I believe there is one in Sydney)

    Some people, bury, some use safes, some put holes in walls, some put it in plain site, I read a story of a person using 400oz bars (I think) as a bottom step to the cellar. Put it in the water tank outside etc... Whatever you choose to do, you do but keep it to yourself this is the safest thing above all else.

    You may want to consider paper instead such as Perth Mint certificates. Good luck with your choice.

    If you planing to hold your silver long term break up the concrete under your house dig out what you need for your treasure chest, and put new concrete back on top.
    Make sure the new concrete job area looks the same as the one before. Write down the location and put it away with your will.
    Even if someone knows you did that, but they don't know the exact location of the place they virtually have to demolish the entire house before they can find it.

    Two types of stackers, those who use safe deposit boxes and those that refuse to answer.

    Does anyone know where or who to use as the Private Storage is in Sydney?

    I've googled but most are Self Storages mainly for furniture etc.
