In Mexico people are a little wary of strangers in their house (housekeepers, workers, babysitters, etc.). That's why they have to think of new ways to hide their jewellery and cash safely.
I utilized the space in the cabinet between the lowest shelf and the floor and fitted in a new drawer of the same wood.
It looks just like a normal drawer, except there is a sunk-in screw instead of a handle. From the front it looks like it's part of the cabinet.

Note: The whole thing becomes even niftier when you sink another magnet into the inside of your drawer. The effort is a little higher, but then the drawer is practically invisible!
