Never had a problem of snooping... yet. However, I AM a packrat which means the shelves and cabinets in my room is already messy enough to hide damn near -anything- unless you know where and what to look for ^^ thus saving me from snooping people! But, between matresses on the bed, or between bedspring and matress, or whatever two layers you have, is a pretty good hiding place, don't you think? If you don't have a toy box. Not for plastic things of course, but other more hardy stuff....
