Sometimes you need to keep something valuable safe and out of sight. Safes are tough but conspicuous and easy enough to crack given time. Entrusting your MacGuffin to someone else will inevitably end with it lost or stolen. And everyone knows to dig holes in your backyard once they hear of hidden treasure. What can you do?
The solution: Keep it somewhere close to you. But hide it in a compartment only you and those you trust most can know about and access. This is the Hidden Storage Compartment, a secret stash hidden inside an everyday object that you might walk past every day. A dresser might hide a secret drawer inside your sock drawer. A suitcase will have a false bottom so anyone rummaging through your luggage will only find your smallclothes. A shoe will have its heel hollowed out to store your gadgets, gizmos, and maps.
The benefits of such a compartment are manifold. Your hidden stash is (hopefully) secured from prying eyes. Anyone looking for your stuff would need to do an extensive amount of detective work to even fathom the compartment's existence. Your hidden goods remain close at hand in case you need to retrieve or move them. And for compartments hidden inside portable items, you can take even sensitive materials with you without arousing suspicion.
This is TruthInTelevision. Even with the advent of X-rays machines to check for hidden items at security checkpoints, people are always coming up with ways to hide valuable things from each other and get creative in trying to stay a step ahead. There are entire communities devoted to the making of such compartments, with some retailers even offering products with hidden compartments as a selling point.

[[caption-width-right:350:Always look behind the golden waterfall.]]
Sometimes you need to keep something valuable safe and out of sight. Safes are tough but conspicuous and easy enough to crack given time. Entrusting your MacGuffin to someone else will inevitably end with it lost or stolen. And everyone knows to dig holes in your backyard once they hear of hidden treasure. What can you do?
The solution: Keep it somewhere close to you. But hide it in a compartment only you and those you trust most can know about and access. This is the Hidden Storage Compartment, a secret stash hidden inside an everyday object that you might walk past every day. A dresser might hide a secret drawer inside your sock drawer. A suitcase will have a false bottom so anyone rummaging through your luggage will only find your smallclothes. A shoe will have its heel hollowed out to store your gadgets, gizmos, and maps.
The benefits of such a compartment are manifold. Your hidden stash is (hopefully) secured from prying eyes. Anyone looking for your stuff would need to do an extensive amount of detective work to even fathom the compartment's existence. Your hidden goods remain close at hand in case you need to retrieve or move them. And for compartments hidden inside portable items, you can take even sensitive materials with you without arousing suspicion.
This is TruthInTelevision. Even with the advent of X-rays machines to check for hidden items at security checkpoints, people are always coming up with ways to hide valuable things from each other and get creative in trying to stay a step ahead. There are entire communities devoted to the making of such compartments, with some retailers even offering products with hidden compartments as a selling point.
A SuperTrope to BookSafe, for when the hidden compartment is a hollowed out book. A staple of the RoomEscapeGame. Any VenturousSmuggler is bound to have one of these. See also HiddenSupplies, when someone keeps a stash of something in case of emergencies.
Compare LooseFloorboardHidingSpot, when it isn't so much as a compartment as a space hidden under a conveniently loose floorboard, and ConcealingCanvas, when the compartment is a safe hidden behind a painting. See also SecretRoom, SecretPath, and SecretUndergroundPassage, when there are entire rooms or walkways hidden by a special mechanism, and ShoePhone, which is when a spy's super gadgets are disguised as ordinary items to be used at a moment's notice. Not to be confused with VictoriasSecretCompartment, where a woman stores or hides something between her breasts.
