If one wants to retain their property and fear it may be confiscated, one option is to bury it.
4-6 inch PVC pipe cut to length, and end caps glued on make a nice waterproof case for certain items one may be concerned about losing. Any metal item placed underground should have a light coating of machine oil to prevent oxidation. Remote caches, away from your home are one option. The danger is discovery by a stranger. Caches on one's property can be concealed by burying several metal objects around, below and above the cache. Old washing machines work great for this purpose.
Dont forget the sodium silicate packets.
rice is supposed to work.
Of course I wouldn't know about this technique if a friend had not told me about it after I had several rifles and boxes of ammo stolen. He suggested that i try this method to try and prevent future thefts.
